Why hasn't there ever been a tournament here in the NT?
Every other Australian state and the ACT have, or have had one. Why not us?

Re: Why hasn't there ever been a tournament here in the NT?
There are big countries without A tournament, or countries like Argentina who give the sport so many great players with just a bitchy 250. Countries like China who never gave any good tennis player to the world have a MS1000.
Come on, don't complain dude! You have so many good tournaments across your country, and a big grass arena.
Money talks.

Re: Why hasn't there ever been a tournament here in the NT?
why isn't there an ATP tournament in BC
repeat 10 times except replace BC each time with the following
Alberta
Saskatchewan
Manitoba
New Brunswick
Nova Scotia
PEI
Newfoundland & Labrador
Yukon
NorthWest territories
Nunavut
be happy Australia has as many tournaments as it has, it could be worse
