	SignOnSanDiego.com > Sports -- Fraser answers Pasarell's critique
		Charlie Pasarell was “talking through his pocket” when he warned that the Davis Cup is an endangered competition unless its format is altered, according to the International Tennis Federation's delegate to the United States-Romania tie.
		Pasarell is the tournament chairman of the Pacific Life Open at Indian Wells and a member of the ATP Board of Directors.
		Pasarell has proposed replacing the current format in the Davis Cup's World Group, with 16 nations engaging in a single-elimination tournament, with a hybrid of the Challenge Round system that the cup maintained from its beginning in 1900 through 1971.

	The Red Zone
		Pasarell, a native of Puerto Rico who had been the No. 1-ranked player in the U.S., was then an ATP Board Member and the Director of Tennis at the La Quinta Hotel.
		Pasarell’s efforts resulted in the tournament moving to La Quinta Hotel, a new 7,500-seat tennis stadium being built to house the event, and a commitment being made to make the event "even better" in the future.
		If Pasarell’s goals were to be accomplished, if the event were to strive for "major tennis event" status, he needed larger, more modern and permanent tennis stadium and facilities.

	Bud Collins Indian Wells 2006 Diary
		Since partners in promotion Charlie Pasarell and Raymond Moore moved their tournament to a larger venue, the newly appointed Tennis Garden in 2000, it has been the diamond of the desert.
		Charlie, his partner, Raymond Moore, and Indian Wells, this sun-pampered village of 4000 affluent souls, barely avoided losing their gem (the $ 5.2 million Pacific Life Open) to Shanghai or Qatar or maybe it was Timbuktu.
		Pasarell and Moore, the co- impresarios, have had big ideas for their game since they were respected players.

		CHARLIE PASARELL: I didn't mean to say for Hewitt to be in the finals instead of Sampras it will be bad for us.
		CHARLIE PASARELL: I mean, if that was the case, you would assume the Williams sisters would be here, if IMG is their agent.
		CHARLIE PASARELL: I can give you the same answer I gave 12, 13 years ago when they said, "McEnroe, Connors leaving the game, who are you going to have from the American players?" I said, "I don't know who, but somebody's going to show up." The next thing we had Agassi, Sampras, Chang, Courier.

		The way Charlie Pasarell sees it, he has a bigger problem than Ray Kinsella did when he set out to build his "Field of Dreams" with the belief that once it was built, people would come.
		Pasarell has his eye on a parcel of land near Washington Street and Fred Waring Drive -- only a couple of miles from Grand Champions -- on which he hopes to build a new home for the tournaments.
		Pasarell estimates the cost of the complex at $50 million, with the bulk of that money coming from the private sector, and said much of the preliminary work -- such as site surveys and engineering studies -- already has begun.

	INTERVIEW OF CHARLIE PASARELL,
		CHARLIE: We first thought it was going to cost 50 million, but in the end, it cost 77 million.
		CHARLIE: I tell you what, it means a lot for me when you say something like that because that is what I want everybody to feel.
		CHARLIE: Well, I guess, you and me and anybody that's played the game, has to be so thankful for having gotten involved in a sport that allows you to travel all over the world and meet different people, visit different countries, see the world.

		Pasarell and Moore, the co-impresarios, have had big ideas for their game since they were respected players.
		You may recall Pasarell as a Davis Cupper, the No. 1 US player of 1967, and Moore, a South African Davis Cupper who had the guts to admirably speak out against apartheid when he lived in his homeland.

		Charlie Pasarell is part of a USTA committee preparing a proposal to improve what they see as flaws in the Davis Cup.
		The proposal that Pasarell and company would like to promote is to make the Davis Cup final a four-team, round robin event lasting two weeks.

		Pasarell, younger and stronger, challenged him all the way, and reached match point seven times.
		Oddly, Pasarell was using fewer and fewer of the lobs which had served him so well in the first set.
		At 13-14, Pasarell served three aces, one of them saving Gonzales' seventh set point, but at 14-15 he served two disastrous double faults.

		Pasarell first met Ashe when Pasarell was 13 and Ashe was 12 and the two played at the Orange Bowl junior tournament in Florida.
		The NJTL was started by Ashe and Pasarell as a way to get minority and underprivileged children involved in tennis and, through tennis, teach them about both sport and education.

		CHARLIE PASARELL: No, no, one thing for certain is we will never stop talking about it and trying to hopefully bring the issue to a head until it really happens.
		I said one of the things I thought they needed to do was adopt sort of the Masters Series format where their top players are committed to the specific major events rather than leaving it up to them if they want to go to Miami or come here, whatever.
		CHARLIE PASARELL: Their scheduling, their programming of the matches, their programming of the event is not driven by sponsorships.

		Again, Charlie and I, we're very disappointed that the Williams sisters didn't play here or that Jennifer didn't and Mauresmo.
		But it wasn't Charlie and I. We're talking to our partners, IMG, who represent some of these players saying, "Please see what you can do." The end result is the players in the women's game, they make their own schedule.
		That is, he's trying to build an event, an event that is big enough that you don't have to go down on your hands and knees to beg players to play.

		Because they are great athletes and deserve to be here...[but] Charlie was slighted, they wouldn’t even meet with him...we ran into a brick wall [and] two weeks before this tournament we were told, ‘Don’t even raise the subject anymore.

		Gonzales, who had won the US Open 20 years earlier, was 41 at the time and in those days they did not sit down at the change of ends, but simply wiped the perspiration away, downed a mouthful of barley water and got on with it.
		When they returned for the second day, Gonzales, who had coached Pasarell, was two sets down.
		Pasarell squandered seven match points and Gonzales twice managed to escape from 0-40 in spectacular style in the final set.

		This foreshadowed the uniting of the men's and women's competitions that was essential to Pasarell’s goals.
		The tournament received significant national and international attention when Boris Becker won the first two events (1987 and 1988) held at the new stadium.
