Karnataka’s Tumakuru Set To Host Its Maiden ITF Women’s W35 Event In May
The USD 30,000 event is a key part of the global ITF Women’s circuit, providing players with vital ranking points and a stepping stone to the WTA Tour. It draws a competitive field of emerging international players and top Indian professionals competing in a 32-player singles main draw and qualifying rounds. After successful international tournaments in Bengaluru and Kalaburagi, the event enhances Karnataka’s profile on the global tennis scene and highlights efforts to expand the sport beyond traditional centres.
Minister for Home, Govt. of Karnataka and District In-charge Minister, G. Parameshwara commented, “It is a proud moment for Tumakuru to host an international event of this scale after more than two decades. As a district with a strong sporting culture, this tournament reflects the progress in infrastructure and our continued commitment to promoting global sporting events while creating opportunities for youth across the region. I’m sure our District Administration, headed by DC Will, will host this in a befitting manner. I thank KSLTA for this opportunity in Tumakuru.”
