KSLTA To Host SM Krishna Memorial Tournament With USD 30,000 Prize Money
The prestigious tournament will be a joint initiative by KSLTA and the Karnataka State Government and has been conceptualised as a tribute to the visionary former Chief Minister of Karnataka SM Krishna who was an avid tennis enthusiast and spearheaded KSLTA as its president between 1999 to 2020. He was also the Life President of AITA from 2015 to 2023.
"With a flair for the sport and commitment to take it to the next level, Krishna was instrumental in upgrading the current KSLTA facility which was a rundown clay court with an unkept gallery. Under his leadership, the facility went on to don a new look and transformed into a state-of-the-art tennis stadium in the lush, green, heart of the city. He was instrumental in bringing world-class events to Bengaluru including the Legends Tour, World Doubles Championships and WTA Indian Open which saw the Williams sisters – Serena and Venus enthrall the Bengaluru tennis aficionados," the KSLTA said in a release.
