BIG-TIME tennis is set to return to the city after a hiatus of three years.

- SWAROOP SWAMINATHAN @ Chennai

If all goes well, a WTA 250 event will be hosted at the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu (SDAT) Stadium from the last week of October (Oct. 27th to November 2nd to be exact).

It comes with one caveat. It's pending WTA Board approvals but it's generally seen as a formality according to Vijay Amritraj, the president of the Tamil Nadu Tennis Association (TNTA).

TNTA, whose last tour event was the 2022 WTA event, had been patiently waiting for an opening for an event over the last few years. They wanted to host a marquee event this year to coincide with the 100 years of TNTA.
