All three Masters are being held in association with the respective state tennis associations - Gujarat State Tennis Association (GSTA), Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association (MSLTA), Delhi Lawn Tennis Association (DLTA), and Haryana Tennis Association (HTA). The TPL Race to Gold Masters provides a unique platform for emerging tennis players, giving them the opportunity to showcase their skills and earn recognition at the national level using TPL’s unique and exciting 25-point format.
Top-ranked players of each Race to Gold Masters Zone across U10 Boys & Girls, U12 Boys & Girls, U14 Boys & Girls, and Men’s & Women’s Open categories will receive scholarships worth ₹75,000.
