US Supreme Court Denies Cert, Upholding Decision that Tennis Tournament Restructuring Was Not Anticompetitive

Update December 2010:  The U.S. Supreme Court declined to grant a writ of certiorari.

Update June 2010: The Third Circuit has affirmed the juries decision in favor of the defendant on the ground that the plaintiffs failed to prove a relevant market.

In a Delaware U.S. District Court case, the jury found for the defendant in Deutscher Tennis Bund, et al. v. ATP Tour Inc.   Smaller tour organizers alleged that the ATP’s reorganization plan for 2009 would anticomptitively lock out smaller tour organizers, religating them to minor league status.
