While this is a good step, I wish they had more age categories. What about U16 and U18? Many talented players fall through the cracks between U14 and Open categories.

Over 2000 players getting elite competition experience - this is exactly what Indian tennis needs. MSLTA and TPL are doing God's work for the sport!

The scholarship amount is quite substantial for young athletes. Hope this helps identify the next Sania Mirza or Rohan Bopanna from smaller towns across India.
