IPTL returns for third season, both Federer and Serena will be in action

 

By Ricky Dimon

 

Despite widespread rumors that the International Premier Tennis League was facing financial difficulty and would be cancelled, the offseason exhibition sensation is returning for a third installment in 2016. The number of participating teams has been reduced from five to four, but Mahesh Bhuphati’s brainchild still has the green light. Three different cities will host matches: Hyderabad, Tokyo, and Singapore.

 

The Indian Aces will play their home matches in Hyderabad, Tokyo is the host site for the Japan Warriors, and the Singapore Slammers are also back in business. A fourth squad, the UAE Royals, will only play on the road this year.

 

Roger Federer will suit up for the Aces at the end of three-day stretch in Hyderabad, marking his first appearance since falling to Milos Raonic in the Wimbledon semis. Federer is scheduled for the last match in Hyderabad and he would also be available for the IPTL final the next day if the Aces qualify.

 

Serena Williams is on board with the Slammers. She played for Singapore in 2015 before being a part of the Philippine Mavericks in 2015. The Mavericks are not participating in the IPTL this season but Bhupathi has indicated that they could come back next year if the league reinstalls its five-team schedule.

Editors Note: Mahesh really did an amazing job pulling this together. This is his third year so it should have been pretty routine. But it wasn’t.

Recently The government of India removed currency notes that left a country that uses a lot of cash scrambling in all directions for weeks and weeks.

The government kept saying things wouldn’t be back to normal till after the New Year [2017].

Bravo Mahesh!
