$400K Banglore ATP Tournament,

The ATP Board declared yesterday that they accepted a petition from the Bangalore Open to suspend the 2008 event due to the local promoter’s security concerns. The total event prize money of $400,000 will now be paid into the ATP player pension fund.

In my view that's stupid decision, reason is at same time Australian cricket team will be playing in Banglore (9th October) ... So whats security issue they r blaming? ... This must be the case of orginisers r not able to organise this event (with some internal problems) but blaming on security ... Indian media should try to find real truth behind this decision.
