TENNIS WEEK

Farewell Tennis Week?

Could it be that the once-glorious Tennis Week magazine – the lucid and literary child of the late Gene Scott – may be no more?

The once widely-respected journal, founded in 1974, ceased publishing its print version in March. Now multiple sources say IMG, who purchased the magazine in December 2006, will be closing down the magazine’s website, TennisWeek.com, at the end of November.

Update...TennisWeek.com is down so I believe it is safe to assume the magazine has been washed. Another result of Teddy Forstmann cutting costs in the business world now hitting the sports world and taking it for a ride until he can cash out on it. How funny would it be if IMG just bombed, and he lost it all?
