The TPL Race to Gold Masters provides a unique platform for emerging tennis players, giving them the opportunity to showcase their skills and earn recognition at the national level using TPL’s unique and exciting 25-point format.
Top-ranked players of each Race to Gold Masters Zone across U10 Boys and Girls, U12 Boys and Girls, U14 Boys and Girls, and Men’s and Women’s Open categories will receive scholarships worth Rs75,000.

Speaking about the initiative, Kunal Thakkur, Co-Founder of the Tennis Premier League, said, “The Race to Gold Masters is one of our proudest initiatives because it directly connects grassroots tennis with the professional circuit and gives these youngsters national exposure and appreciation. The response from young players on the TPL App has been overwhelming, and this tournament gives them a pathway to be recognised.”

The TPL Masters strengthens that vision by giving talented players from every corner of the country the opportunity to compete, grow, and be celebrated in front of professional tennis players live on TV.”
Tennis legend Leander Paes who has been a great promoter and supporter of the Race to Gold initiative stated, “Race to Gold Masters has been a fantastic stage for nurturing India’s tennis ecosystem. Providing young players with structured competition, recognition, and scholarships not only builds confidence but also fuels the next generation of champions.”
