The ATP Challenger series will return to the Garden City with the Bengaluru Open 2020 set to take place at the Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association in Cubbon Park from the 10th of February.
After lackluster performances by the Indian players at the recently concluded Tata Open Maharashtra, they will be looking to put in some better displays at the Challenger tournament in Bangalore. All eyes will be on Leander Paes, who is set to feature in the Bengaluru Open, which will serve as his final tournament on Indian soil.
After a quarter-final finish at the Tata Open Maharashtra alongside his Australian partner, Matthew Ebden, Paes will be eyeing the top prize this time around.
Prajnesh Gunneswaran will be returning to defend the title he won last year while 2017 champion, Sumit Nagal, will also be seen in action. Arjun Kadhe and Niki Poonacha, who is the reigning National Champion, have been granted wild card entries as well.
