The Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF) is demanding $100,000 compensation from the International Tennis Federation (ITF) after three Davis Cup ties were moved from the country over security fears.
PTF president Dilawar Abbas said: “We have filed a claim for a total compensation of around $100,000 for the three Davis Cup ties against Oman, the Philippines and Hong Kong that have been moved from Pakistan since last year.”
The ITF shifted the ties to venues in those three countries after concerns about security were expressed by Pakistan’s opponents over the scheduling of their matches in Lahore and Islamabad.
“The ITF initially rejected our compensation claim but will now consider it again next month at a meeting,” Abbas continued.
“If the matter is not resolved by the ITF, it can also go the Court of Arbitration for Sport.”
He said the ITF argued that Pakistan was given a share of the money from international sponsorship of the ties and that no country would play in Pakistan because of the security situation.
