Inside Junior Tennis; Davis Cup Disappointment; ITA Team Indoor Draws

Due to my trip to Midland, this week's Inside Junior Tennis podcast was recorded earlier in the week than usual. Kevin McClure and I discuss the women's ITA Team Indoor, catch up on some junior tournaments that were overlooked during the Australian Open, and talk about Les Petits As, Peter Polansky and Davis Cup.

Speaking of Davis Cup, Somdev Devvarman of the University of Virgina, who was scheduled to compete for India in this weekend's Group 1 tie with Uzbekistan, did not. According to UVA coach Brian Boland, he spent two days in New York trying to work through visa problems, but was unsuccessful in getting them resolved. The Indian Tennis Federation had assured him that everything was in order, but that was not the case, so he did not make the trip. I can imagine how frustrating that must have been for him. He will now be available to play for the Cavaliers against Michigan Saturday night.

The men's ITA Team Indoor draw was announced today. Last year it seemed a shame that Stanford wasn't selected to compete; this year Florida is conspicuous by its absence.
