Qureshi slams ITF’s move

Pakistan tennis star Aisam ul Haq Qureshi termed International Tennis Federation's (ITF) decision to shift the Indo-Pak Davis Cup tie to a neutral venue as "shocking and disgraceful", saying the world body has discriminated his country by doing so.

"A really shocking, embarrassing, disgraceful, sad and unfair decision by @ITFTennis to hold this @DavisCup tie on a neutral venue. Once again #Pakistan is getting penalised for someone else's actions. To me it's absolute discrimination at every level," tweeted Qureshi, who had paired with India's Rohan Bopanna in the ATP circuit in the past.


In a big relief for India's national tennis federation (All India Tennis Association), the ITF on Monday decided to shift the country's Davis Cup tie against Pakistan from Islamabad to a neutral venue.


According to the Davis Cup regulations, the Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF) now has the choice to nominate a neutral venue. It has five working days to confirm its proposed venue.
