According to the statistics by China Tennis Association (CTA), the number of people playing tennis in China has risen to 8.12 million since '04.
To capitalise on the growing number of tennis fans in China, and the fact that China has the largest and fastest growing number of internet users in the world, ATP launched its Chinese language web site yesterday.
CEO of the ATP International Group, Brad Drewett believed there is no other perfect time than now to launch the all new Chinese language ATP World Tour website www.ATPWorldTour.com.cn and reach out to wider audience.
Personally, I don't really like the font type and font colour used in the website. Too painful for my eyes. I still prefer to get my dose of tennis info from Sina.

David Nalbandian may need to go under the knife to treat his injured right hip, which according to his new coach Luis Lobo said has been a issue for the past 8 months!
Earlier last week, he withdrew from the Barcelona Open, complaining of hip pain.His physician in Europe, Angel Cotorro, told the Argentine newspaper Clarin that Nalbandian would receive three or four days of treatment including physical therapy and medication before a decision is made on surgery.
However, questions has been raised in tennis forum as to why this injury has never been been reported or discussed before.
If Nalbandian has been suffering from the hip injury like 8 months ago, when exactly was that and during which tournament?
Now he could miss Argentina’s Davis Cup quarterfinal against the Czech Republic scheduled this July.
Hopefully he'll spend lots of time in rehabilitation and recover in time for the season ending hard court tournaments.
