Well, they are reporting Brit Fed Cup news. Because ******** Nastase got his ban reduced on appeal - fine doubled The International Tennis Federation (ITF) said a ban was "appropriate" but cut it by eight months, so he can attend events from 23 April 2018 and work at them from 23 April 2020. The ITF also increased Nastase's fine from $10,000 to $20,000. But the former world number one can still be involved in Grand Slam events and ATP or WTA Tour events as they fall outside ITF jurisdiction.
There is no emoticon.

Portuguese tennis can't be that strong if they can only summon 2 players who are not still in juniors.
Anyway what was that about slams being out of ITF jurisdiction. So who has direct jurisdiction over slams. If a player behaves terribly in a slam, is there a governing body that can ban them from the next 3?
