Champions Tennis League unveils new team Hyderabad Aces

Vijay Amritraj-promoted Champions Tennis League (CTL) on Thursday unveiled the new team, Hyderabad Aces, for the inaugural edition of the tournament. The event is commencing on November 17. Hyderabad recently replaced Chennai team in the southern group. The Chennai players Mark Philippoussis, Martina Hingis, Mikhail Youzhny and Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan will now represent the Hyderabad franchise. Hyderabad Aces would play four rounds before qualifying for the final. The home games will be held at the LB Stadium Tennis complex. On November 17, Hyderabad Aces will play against Bangalore, and on November 18, they will meet Pune. The reverse games will be played on November 21 in Bangalore and on November 23 in Pune. The finals of the CTL would be played on November 26 in Delhi. CTL is a six-city league-cum-finals format to be played across India. Amritraj, who unveiled the Hyderabad team, said the league would help promote tennis in the country with international players participating in the event. Replying to a query, Amritraj said CTL is "India-centric and exclusive to India" as compared to the International Premier Tennis League (IPTL), which has Asia in focus.
