One of Asia’s longest-running tennis tournaments, the Tata Open Maharashtra, organised by the Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association, will witness top international players including World No. 15 Aslan Karatsev and defending champion Jiri Vesely vying for the singles title alongside seven other Top 100 players of the world, like teenage sensation Lorenzo Musetti and Portugal’s best tennis player of all time João Sousa among others. The tournament is owned by IMG and operated by RISE Worldwide in India.

 

 

Prashant Sutar, Tournament Director of Tata Open Maharashtra, commented:

We are glad that such a prestigious tournament is returning to India and will be hosted once again despite the challenges of the pandemic. Continuing the tradition and popularity of this tournament over the years, we are delighted that this year too, it will bring a treat for the fans as around 70 top players from 23 countries will be in action. And with the live broadcast, tennis enthusiasts will not be missing thrilling action and can watch it from the comforts of their home.” 

 

Fans can enjoy the live action of South Asia’s only ATP tournament on the Star Sports Select channel as well as on Disney+ Hotstar. Star Sports, which has been showing the tournament on its network for around 12 years, including the last three editions of Tata Open Maharashtra, will live telecast the event for close to 50 hours across the week-long tournament.

 

The Indian challenge will be led by Yuki Bhambri, Ramkumar Ramanathan, Prajnesh Gunneswaran and Arjun Kadhe in singles, and three pairs will be participating in doubles led by Rohan Bopanna and Ramkumar Ramanathan. They have been handed a direct entry into the main draw despite a strong line-up of international players.
