“I am extremely delighted to welcome Viacom18 Sports on board. This tournament has always been a favourite destination for the players as well as the fans from the city. However, the quality of tennis that is on display here is something that fans from other parts of the country have been missing out, all this while. The tournament is in its fifth year and we are keen to do something special and I am glad that we could ensure the broadcast of the tournament for the first time. And such exposure will help the tournament reach next level of popularity,” said Sunil Yajaman, Tournament Director of DafaNews Bengaluru Open and Joint Secretary of KSLTA.
