Davis Cup forfeit against India costs Australia $10K

Australia avoided a ban but were fined $10,000 by the world governing tennis body on Friday for forfeiting their zonal Davis Cup tie against India this month because of security concerns. "The ITF's Davis Cup Committee decided that Australia would not be suspended from the 2010 competition or relegated from Asia/Oceania Zone Group I," the International Tennis Federation said in a statement.
