由於日本關東地震與海嘯造成的災害，而四月中日本對阿根廷將以東京作為主場， 因此ITF宣布將這場世界二組升降賽事延後至六月中、溫網後兩周舉行，場地仍未定。 這是由聯邦盃委員會與日本(JTA)、阿根廷(AAT)網球協會討論後的決定。 希望日本能盡快走出災害與重建，願他們平安。 http://www.fedcup.com/en/news/articles/itf-postpones-tie-between-japan-and-argentina.aspx http://goo.gl/ykBy0 ITF postpones tie between Japan and Argentina The ITF announced today that, due to the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan, it has postponed the Fed Cup by BNP Paribas World Group II play-off tie between Japan and Argentina, originally due to be played in Tokyo on 16-17 April. The tie will now be held in Japan on 16-17 July, two weeks after Wimbledon, with the venue still to be confirmed. The decision was taken by the Fed Cup Committee following discussions with the Japan Tennis Association (JTA), Argentina Tennis Association (AAT) and WTA. ITF President Francesco Ricci Bitti said: “In light of these dreadful and exceptional circumstances, we felt it was important to give the JTA the opportunity still to host the tie and for Fed Cup to play its very small part in the healing process of a nation. We are grateful to both nations, Japan and Argentina, for their cooperation. --
