[Experimentee]

I thought Bundesliga was a football league? What exactly is this tournament?

 

[Chloe le Bopper]

It's some german team tennis thing, and they pay other ATP players to join it? Or something?

And wtf is Nadal doing here when he has to play Umag in two days? I guess I just answered my own question with the "two days" bit...

 

[KarstenBraasch#1]

Football league is also called Bundesliga, that's right.

Tennis Bundesliga: It's a league consisting of 9 teams that play in a round robin format over several weeks. In each tie 6 singles and 3 doubles matches are played. As you can see, they are many ATP-professionals competing.

There is a website with all scores and information: www.tennisbundesliga.de (only German)

There are also two 2nd Leagues (one level lower). The best teams from there move up to the 1st League, while the two worst teams from 1st League go down to the 2nd.
