Surprise decision by ILTF Horner, Ibadulla

PROPOSAL FOR OPEN TENNIS

TOURNAMENTS REJECTED

AT ANNUAL MEETING

Paris, July 6..

The two proposals for lawn tennis reform÷'open' tournaments and a new category of authorised players'--were turned down today at the annual meeting of the International Lawn Tennis Federation. Thus the status quo in tennis remains.

Professionals will still be forbidden from the big international tourna- ments, and “sham-amateurism" will remain for the time being at least. The rejection of open tournaments was a tre-

mendous surprise.

It had been widely forecast that the proposal to run open tournaments for a trial period of one year would get through,

The authorised player proposal was shelved for two years, inainly because of strong oppo- sitlon from Australia, United States, the Soviet Union and other Eastern European countries,

Another committee

After much discussion it was decided to set up another committee to. investigate further this very complex problem. The committee will report back and the new proposals, If any cannot be discussed until 1982. Unti then, the sham-amateurism" in tennis will presumably remain.

When the meeting broke up for lunch just be

tore 1200 GMT delegates refused to say, anything. They had been requested by the president to keep the proceedings secret until a press conference which was to be held at 1400 GMT.

Russian proposal

But it was learned that one item on the agenda was a proposal by the Soviet Union that the International Federation should try to get lawn tennis included in the Olympic Games programme in Tokyo in 1984.

It was not known whether the proposal was

accepted or defeated.

Lawn tennis was included in the modern Olym- pic Games when the series was started in 1896 at Athens but was dropped after the 1824 Games in Paris-Reuter.

London tennis circles

bewildered

London, July 6.

The decision by the Congress of the Inter- national Lawn Tennis Federation to reject "open" tournaments was received with be- wilderment in London tennis circles tonight.

Surprised

"I just couldn't believe the news when I heard it," said Mr Herman David the president of the All-England Club..

"From Impressions I had gained at Wimbledon, I felt sure it would be passed,” he said, Mr W. E. Ramsden, president of the English

Federation Council said he was surprised by the news.

"I knew there would be opposition but after speaking with representatives from other countries, I felt it would go through," he sald

Mr Ramsden explained that it could have been possible for the delegates to change their mind in Paris. "They may have been con- vinced by certain arguments," he said.

"But the decision does mean, of course, that Wimbledon will be as usual next year," -AFP.
