By IANS News December 31, 2025 • 12:18 PM View: 198

ITF World Tennis Tour M15: Indian tennis star Prajwal Dev has received a wild card for the Bengaluru Open 2026, highlighting the tournament’s dedication to supporting Indian talent internationally. As it marks its 10th edition, this esteemed event will take place in Bengaluru from January 5th to 11th, 2026, featuring a competitive international lineup alongside leading Indian players on the ATP Challenger Tour.

After winning the Men’s Singles title at the ITF World Tennis Tour M15 in Bhubaneswar last month, the wild card entry presents the 29-year-old with a crucial opportunity to face a highly talented field at one of India’s top tennis tournaments. Elevated last year to an ATP Challenger 125 level, the Bengaluru Open now offers a prize purse exceeding USD 225,000 and grants 125 ATP ranking points to the singles winner, increasing its attractiveness and competitive importance.

“It's a proud moment for me to compete at the Bengaluru Open ATP Challenger, especially in my home state. This tournament has consistently provided us a world class stage to test ourselves against formidable international competition, and this being the 10th edition is certainly special. I am extremely grateful for the wild card and support by KSLTA and I look forward to playing at the Bengaluru Open and giving my best. Thank you.” Expressed Prajwal upon receiving the wild card.
