India's Ankita, Rutuja, Sahaja Get Wild Cards For Mumbai Open Tennis Championships
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, the Organising Committee members, Sanjay Khandare and Pravin Darade stated, “We are happy to get this world-class event back to India to provide world-class competition to our players. We also thank our Sponsors, L&T, for coming forward and supporting women’s tennis in the country. I’m sure that having such a major event at the beginning of the year will help our players to improve their ranking and participate in higher-level events globally.”
“Our players do not get to play such high-level events due to various reasons and that is why we decided to organise this event here so at least 8 to 10 Indians can get a chance to gain valuable WTA points and thereby improve their world rankings,” added Khandare and Darade.
