The 2023 Tata Open Maharashtra is back and this time around the tournament will be open to fans. The 2021 edition was canned due to the pandemic, while in 2022 pandemic restrictions played spoilsport with respect to the entry of spectators. The upcoming edition of the tournament will be held from December 31 to January 7.
The Tata Open Maharashtra is South Asia's only ATP tournament and is a part of the ATP 250 series. Joao Sousa is the defending champion in singles, while home favorites Rohan Bopanna and Ramkumar Ramanathan are the current champions in doubles.
2014 US Open champion Marin Cilic headlines the field in singles, with top-50 players Jenson Brooksby, Sebastian Baez, Botic van de Zandschulp, and Emil Ruusuvuori also in action. The top doubles pairing of Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury are set to compete as well.
