The All India Tennis Federation (AITA) on Saturday announced a revamped domestic circuit to support the players who are struggling financially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The AITA is aiming for a tentative launch of the circuit in July.
All sporting activities around the world have come to a halt due to the outbreak of coronavirus which has led to the death of more then 400 people in India and above 1.5 lakh worldwide.
"The Indian Tennis players and in fact the entire tennis ecosystem has been adversely hit by the Covid 19 pandemic and the indefinite cancellation (till July 13 for now) of all ATP and ITF competitions worldwide," said the AITA in a statement.
"AITA therefore, based on the assumption that the complete National Lockdown may be lifted in the course of the next 2 months and that travel restrictions may be eased somewhat, plans to launch a Domestic circuit to start tentatively in July 2020."
