LONDON(AP) The International Tennis Federation says the Davis Cup match between India and Australia will take place in Chennai, India, as originally planned - despite security concerns voiced by the Australians.
The second-round match in Asia-Oceania Group 1 will take place in May.
In a statement released on the Davis Cup Web site, the ITF said Chennai was approved by the Davis Cup Committee following ``a positive report from the ITF's security consultants.''
Australian tennis officials had sought a change of venue amid heightened concerns about security for sports events on the Indian sub continent in the wake of a terror attack on the Sri Lanka cricket team in Lahore, Pakistan, last month.
