Two-time Grand Slam champion and former World No.1 doubles star Rohan Bopanna will strengthen the sixth edition of the Tennis Premier League (TPL) to be played at the Cricket Club of India (CCI) from December 3 to 8.

The 44-year-old Bopanna, who has competed in three Olympics in London, Rio and Paris, will be one of the star attractions along with Sumit Nagal, Hugo Gaston of France and Armenian Elina Avanesyan.

Quite excited about the 25-point format of the TPL, Bopanna said that he was happy to join the league as it was supporting Indian tennis.

“It is a perfect way to wrap up the year. I believe that tournaments like the TPL, which are actively contributing to grassroots development, will inspire more young players,” said Bopanna.

“It is fantastic to have the dynamic Rohan Bopanna on board. His presence will not only boost the sixth edition of TPL, but also motivate other players,”, said Kunal Thakur of TPL.

“We are looking forward to some great tennis with Rohan and the rest of the players,” said Mrunal Jain, co founder of TPL.
