The World Tennis League (WTL), after three successful seasons in the UAE, is set to make its India debut next month. 
The four-day tournament will be held from December 17 to 20 at the SM Krishna Tennis Stadium, owned and operated by the Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association.
The upcoming edition will feature an impressive roster of international and Indian tennis players. 
Global stars Daniil Medvedev, Nick Kyrgios, Elena Rybakina, Paula Badosa, Gael Monfils, Arthur Fils, Magda Linette and Marta Kostyuk are confirmed to participate. 
India&rsquo;s leading players, including Rohan Bopanna, Sumit Nagal, Yuki Bhambri, Ankita Raina, Shrivalli Bhamidipaty, Maaya Revathi, Dhakshineswar Suresh and Shivika Burman, will also join the line-up.
With tennis gaining momentum in India, the inclusion of domestic athletes aims to further accelerate the sport&rsquo;s rise and energise fans across the country.
Twelve-time Grand Slam champion and WTL Co-Founder Mahesh Bhupathi called the India edition a significant milestone for the sport. 
&ldquo;India has always shared a deep and lasting connection with tennis, and the WTL&rsquo;s arrival here is an opportunity to strengthen that bond. As someone who has lived the sport, I believe this format brings out the fast, dynamic, and engaging side of the competition. With international champions sharing the court with India&rsquo;s top talent, we hope to inspire the next generation of players and showcase tennis as a sport that is intense, global, and full of possibility,&rdquo; he said.
The Bengaluru edition marks a new chapter for the WTL as it expands its global footprint while highlighting India&rsquo;s growing influence in world tennis.
