I dont know the legal bakcground of this decsion, which might be just in legal terms, but as a German tennis fan, this sucks. Hamburg gets degraded for no fault of their own. their appointed place in the calender after Wimbledon sucks even more. Combined with the road map 2010 that gives Rome the advantage over Berlin this all feels like a big "we really dont care at all about German tennis fans".

Germany was such a hot spot for tennis in the 80's and 90's. Tournaments all over the country. I feel for the fans there. They have a greater tradition than China, but money talks...

...Hamburg and Berlin walk.
