As part of its grassroots initiative, the Tennis Premier League (TPL) will provide scholarships of ₹75,000 to 36 talented junior players from six different regions. According to a report by The Hindu, under this programme, two under-14 champions will also be given a special opportunity to travel for the 2027 Australian Open.
For this selection process, the 'Race to Gold Masters' has been organised, which will take place over three weekends in November. These competitions will begin with the North Zone event at the DLTA courts on 14-15 November. This will be followed by the Gujarat Masters in Ahmedabad on 21-22 November. Finally, the Maharashtra leg will be held in Mumbai on 28-29 November.
Through these scholarships, players will be provided with necessary tennis equipment, personalised apparel, and professional guidance. Additionally, the selected players will have the opportunity to interact with and learn from India's leading tennis players such as Leander Paes and Rohan Bopanna.
The entire programme is supported by Kia India, which has partnered with TPL for the first time.
