Chennai Open has developed as a major event in the tennis circuit. Players will get opportunity to prepare for the first Grand Slam of the year, the Australia Open. It is a perfect stadium. So, I think Chennai Open will develop into a wonderful event.

It's just different for ladies to play on the men's tour. It's like getting the Williams sisters to play (tennis) against a man, and they're far better athletes than she (Sorenstam) is.

It's nice to give more boys the opportunity to play tennis. We're very thankful for our courts.

The best days to see the most tennis will be Friday through Sunday.

There will be some great tennis matches in this tournament. Anyone who enjoys hard-fought tennis matches with talented players will see great tennis. We will take it one point, one game, one set and one match at a time and leave our best play on the court.

We have assembled one of the most powerful strategic tennis partnerships possible, and this will ensure that the event stays here for many years to come. We look forward to working with them to improve and enhance this already terrific tournament.
