Fantastic platform for experienced and rising players: Rohit Rajpal

Rohit Rajpal, India’s non-playing Davis Cup captain, said that players will get good chances of making their way up the ATP rankings with an impressive performance in the Delhi Open.

“This tournament is a fantastic platform for both experienced players and rising talent to test themselves at a high level,” Rajpal was quoted as saying by IANS.

“With valuable ranking points on offer, it provides a crucial opportunity for players to climb the ATP ladder and gain momentum in their seasons. The Delhi Open has consistently played a vital role in shaping careers, and it’s exciting to see a strong and competitive field once again ready to battle it out,” Rajpal added.

The Czech Republic’s Vit Kopriva is the top seed in the main draw. Billy Harris of the United States and Tristan Schoolkate of Australia are the second and third seeds respectively. Schoolkate recently won his second Challenger title after coming up trumps in the Queensland International in Brisbane.

Former World No. 31 Lloyd Harris is also a part of the competition. Back in 2021, Harris defeated the legendary Rafael Nadal 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 in the quarterfinals of the Citi Open. Shintaro Mochizuki, who won the Boys’ Singles title at Wimbledon 2019, will also take part in the Delhi Open.
