Kingfisher Airlines Tennis Open

The inaugural edition of the ATP Mumbai Open will be held from September 25 to October 1, 2006, at the famous Mumbai Cricket Club. The Cricket Club will be extensively renovated to include a new 3,500-seat Center Court plus two match courts and two practice courts.

Mumbai became the second city in India after Chennai to host an ATP tournament when the ATP Board of Directors approved a request to move the $380,000 Vietnam Open tournament from Ho Chi Minh City to Mumbai.

World No.7 Tommy Robredo of Spain, No.8 Mario Ancic (Croatia) and No. 9 Radek Stepanek (Czech Republic) are the top-10 players who have confirmed their participation in the Open.

Globosport India, promoted by doubles ace Mahesh Bhupathi, will be responsible for the marketing, management and promotion of the Mumbai Open.
