As part of its drive to keep the tennis fraternity engaged, especially at the junior level, the Tennis Premier League (TPL) has started its initiative with the Gujarat State Tennis Association (GSTA) to have a series of tournaments across the State.
There will be tournaments in different cities and the winners will compete in the Masters event to be held in Ahmedabad. Boys and girls in the under-10, 12 and 14 age groups apart from men and women would stand to gain scholarships.
The TPL aims to award annual scholarship worth Rs75,000 to the best 72 players from across the country.
“The association between GSTA and TPL encourages competition which can only help raise the standard of the sport. We hope to get a few players who go on to make India proud,” said GSTA secretary Shrimal Bhatt.
