If all goes well, Chennai will host two more Challengers by the year-end, said C. B. N. Reddy, Secretary, Tamil Nadu Tennis Association (TNTA) on Saturday.
"If TNTA's wish is granted, it will be the first time that Chennai will host as many as three Challenger events in a single year. The plan is to host both these tournaments sometime in October or November so as to coincide with similar Challenger events in Pune and Bengaluru."

Reddy said TNTA has also bid to host a Davis Cup tie. While Reddy did not go into the specifics, he said that TNTA, in the last All India Tennis Association Executive Council meeting, put forth a bid to host it. Chennai had last hosted Brazil in the World Group play-off tie in September 2010.
