TENNIS PREMIER LEAGUE (TPL) has announced the return of the TPL Race to Gold Masters Tournaments 2025, a nationwide competition designed to identify and nurture the best young tennis talent across India through the TPL App.
The tournament will unfold in three regional phases, beginning with the North Zone in New Delhi on 15 and 16 November at the DLTA Stadium, followed by the Gujarat leg in Ahmedabad on 22 and 23 November at the Gujarat University Tennis Stadium, and concluding with the Maharashtra leg in Mumbai on 29 and 30 November at the MSLTA Stadium.
Masters are being organised in association with state tennis bodies: Delhi Lawn Tennis Association (DLTA), Haryana Tennis Association (HTA), Gujarat State Tennis Association (GSTA), and Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association (MSLTA).
Top-ranked players across U10, U12, U14 Boys & Girls, and Men’s & Women’s Open categories from each zone will earn scholarships worth Rs 75,000. The champions will also be honoured live on television during TPL Season 7, scheduled to take place in Ahmedabad from 9 to 14 December, where they will have the opportunity to interact with Indian tennis icons such as Leander Paes and Rohan Bopanna, and engage with top TPL players.
TPL co-founder Kunal Thakkur said, “The Race to Gold Masters is one of our proudest initiatives because it directly connects grassroots tennis with the professional circuit and gives these youngsters national exposure and appreciation. The response from young players on the TPL App has been overwhelming, and this tournament gives them a pathway to be recognised.”
TPL co-founder Mrunal Jain added, “Our goal has always been to make tennis more accessible and aspirational across India. The TPL Masters strengthens that vision by giving talented players from every corner of the country the opportunity to compete, grow, and be celebrated in front of professional tennis players live on TV.”
