Pune will celebrate the fifth year of the event, and Viacom18 Sports, the home to several ATP Masters and the ATP Finals, will aim to deliver a high-quality viewing experience that fans can enjoy across TV and digital.

“Tata Open Maharashtra is the biggest tennis event in Indian sporting history, and this year will be a celebratory edition for us for every tennis fan in India.
