Great initiative by DCM Shriram. 30 years of supporting Indian tennis is no small feat. Hope to see some new talent emerge this year!
Planning to attend with my tennis academy students. This is the perfect platform for young players to get exposure. The U-14 and U-16 categories are especially important for grassroots development.
While I appreciate the corporate support, I wish there was more television coverage. Such national championships deserve wider visibility to inspire more youngsters.
DLTA complex is perfect for this event. Remember watching Somdev play here years ago. Hope we discover the next big Indian tennis star! 🇮🇳
The fact that they include all age categories from U-14 upwards shows real commitment to building tennis from the ground up. More corporates should follow this model!
