    Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association: Having hosted major international events like the ATP Tour 250, WTA 125, and PMR Challenger tournaments consistently for five years, the Directorate of Sports and Youth Services, Maharashtra, together with the ATP Organising Committee, has chosen to extend tennis development directly to district levels in partnership with the Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association (MSLTA).

    Under this new initiative, 20 international tournaments sanctioned by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), with prize money of USD 15,000 and USD 25,000, will be held across different districts in the state. This effort aims to greatly enhance tennis at the grassroots and district levels, offering Indian players more chances to earn important world ranking points and gain recognition worldwide.

    Speaking on the occasion, MSLTA President Prashant Suta, at the press conference, stated, "This initiative marks the first significant step in my tenure as MSLTA President to ensure tennis is no longer confined to metropolitan cities but reaches rural and district-level players across Maharashtra. By hosting ITF tournaments on home soil, we want to give our players the right exposure and infrastructure without the financial burden of overseas travel."
