India will host the Chennai Open, a WTA 250 tournament, after a gap of three years. Announcing this on Monday, the Tamil Nadu Tennis Association (TNTA) said the action would unfold on October 27. The tournament was last held in 2022 when Czech Republic’s Linda Fruhvirtova had emerged singles champion.
“Finally, our efforts to get a major international sporting /tennis event to Chennai have borne fruit, thanks to the strong support of the government of Tamil Nadu and the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu,” TNTA president Vijay Amritraj said.
The event will be broadcast live on a leading sports channel.
