Nalbandian will play Chennai Open
in January says this snippet
World number four David Nalbandian of Argentina has confirmed his participation in the 12th Chennai Open tennis tournament to be held here in January.
‘Nalbandian’s confirmation to participate in the tournament is a wonderful opportunity for tennis fans to watch one of the most consistent players on the circuit from close quarters,’ said tournament director Fernando Soler in a statement.
Yay!
Good for Chennai Open though Nalbandian is no star. People are still likely to flock, for want of choice and good promo by the organisers. We need a real big star, they almost got Nadal last year. They also need to increase the prize money to attract the top guys.

@SLN
the crowds will anyway turn up, mite not be just for the tennis
i just wish they get becker again…. probably they can have a match between becker and amritraj
This is just marketing gimmicks…..
just wait and see, this guy may withdraw from chennai open just before the chennai open is about to begin…
anyway, it will be nice if he comes to chennai open.
I miss the chennai open. I used to love going there and watching some great tennis. I am so glad I got to see Boris Becker playing.
Almost 10 years since Baby Boomboy Krajicek purportedly “tanked” his match at the then Gold Flake Open, I have come to expect little of Chennai’s most glamorous tennis extravaganza. 1998 will probably be the only year when the stars actually lived up to their reputation (That people came to Nungambakkam to worship Becker in thousands is altogether a different matter), but hey look at tge Champions Roster….Golmard, Tabara….somehow the big names barring Moya and Rafter dont seem to click in the first tournament of the calendar year.
