Indianapolis Tennis Tournament a Victim of Bad Economy

Dec. 9 -- Barring a financial miracle, the Indianapolis, Indiana, summer stop of the ATP is presumed dead after officials were unable to come up with a new sponsor in the poor Mid-western US economy.

The hard-court event, which once enjoyed a prime spot just two weeks before the start of the US Open, has slowly dropped from the radar since being move forward by the ATP into an unattractive late July slot several seasons ago. At its height, attendance topped 90,000 fans at the 80-year-old tournament, with the last edition drawing perhaps 70,000.

That meant that only journeymen Americans and Europeans - and an occasional Andy Roddick or James Blake - could be counted on to play so soon after Wimbledon.

Reports on the fate of Indy vary, with one saying the ATP will buy the tournament rights and kill the event. Other possible homes might still be La Costa, California, Chicago, Charleston and Atlanta. But reports indicate that the asking price is too high to interest any of the potential bidders.
