Mumbai, Oct 29: In a landmark move to strengthen the grassroots tennis ecosystem in India, the Tennis Premier League (TPL), powered by Clear Premium Water, has announced the return of the TPL Race to Gold Masters Tournaments 2025.

This premier competition aims to discover and nurture emerging tennis talent from across the country through the TPL App, serving as a gateway to professional recognition.

The TPL Race to Gold Masters 2025 will be conducted in three phases across India.

All three tournaments will be held in association with Gujarat State Tennis Association (GSTA), Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association (MSLTA), Delhi Lawn Tennis Association (DLTA), and Haryana Tennis Association (HTA). The competition adopts TPL's distinctive 25-point format, offering young players an exciting and fast-paced environment to display their talent and compete for top honours.

The top-ranked players from each zone - across U10, U12, U14 (Boys & Girls), and Men's & Women's Open categories - will be awarded scholarships worth ₹75,000. Additionally, champions will be felicitated live on television during the seventh season of the Tennis Premier League, set to take place in Ahmedabad from December 9-14, 2025.
