Chennai Open is an important tournament in the history of women’s tennis in India, which started in September 2022 as a WTA 250 tournament. This was the first WTA-level event in India after 2008. The tournament was held at the SDAT Tennis Stadium in Nungambakkam, Chennai, which was part of a one -year WTA license due to cancellation in China.
The event included 32-Khiladi singles draws, 16-tim doubles draws, and about $ 2,50,000 prize money, under the leadership of TNTA President and tennis legend Vijay Amritraj, with strong support from the Tamil Nadu government.
