What Is the ITF World Tennis Masters Tour?
The ITF World Tennis Masters Tour is the global circuit for competitive tennis players aged 30 and above. It runs over 500 tournaments every year across more than 70 countries, serving everyone from club players to former professionals.
Tournaments are graded by prestige and ranking points. The India 2026 events fall under MT200 and MT100 grades, which are well-organised and open to players at the entry and intermediate level.
Age Groups and Formats
The tour runs competitions in five-year increments from the 30-plus category all the way up to 90-plus. A 45-year-old never competes against someone in their early 30s, which keeps things fair at every level.
Players can enter singles, doubles, and mixed doubles at each event. Most choose more than one format to maximise court time, ranking points, and the chance to meet new playing partners along the way.
How to Join the ITF Masters Tour
Any player aged 30 or above can join by registering for a free IPIN through the official ITF website. This is required before entering any sanctioned event. Players also pay a service fee of around 10 US dollars per tournament plus a local entry fee.
The ITF World Tennis Number, or WTN, runs from 40 for beginners to 1 for elite players and helps organisers decide tournament acceptances for unranked players.
Tournament Breakdown: What to Expect at Each Event
From Amritsar in March to Indore in May, here is a breakdown of every stop on the India 2026 calendar.
MT200 Amritsar (02 Mar to 07 Mar 2026)
The India 2026 swing opens in Amritsar on outdoor clay. Clay courts slow the ball down and reward players who can construct points patiently. The MT200 grade means this is an accessible event for players at the club and intermediate level, though competition at these events is always serious. Amritsar’s conditions in early March are pleasant, which should make for fast-paced play across all age groups.
MT200 Hyderabad (07 Mar to 12 Mar 2026)
Hyderabad follows immediately after Amritsar, also on outdoor clay. Players who travel from Amritsar can continue their form into this event without a long break. Hyderabad has hosted several tennis events in the past and has a strong domestic tennis culture. The overlap in dates means some players may need to plan their exits carefully if they reach the later rounds in Amritsar.
MT200 Gurugram (14 Mar to 20 Mar 2026)
Gurugram switches the surface to outdoor hard courts, which gives the ball a faster, truer bounce than clay. Players who prefer a more aggressive baseline game will welcome the change. Gurugram also hosts a second MT200 event in April on clay, making it the only city on the 2026 India schedule to host two separate tournaments, giving local players two strong opportunities to compete close to home.
MT200 Dehradun (21 Mar to 25 Mar 2026)
Dehradun hosts an outdoor hard court event in the final week of March. Situated in the foothills of the Himalayas, Dehradun offers a different environment compared to the larger cities on the schedule. The shorter five-day window makes this one of the tighter tournaments on the calendar, so players will need to be sharp from the very first round without any room to find form slowly.
MT100 Lucknow (28 Mar to 01 Apr 2026)
Lucknow is the first MT100 event on the India 2026 swing. MT100 tournaments are entry-level events that award fewer ranking points than MT200 events but offer a great environment for players newer to the tour. The outdoor hard surface in Lucknow suits aggressive servers and players who like to finish points quickly. A five-day window keeps things compact, and every match counts from round one.
MT200 Jaipur (03 Apr to 08 Apr 2026)
Jaipur returns to outdoor clay in early April. The Pink City has a growing tennis scene, and the clay surface will again reward consistent baseliners and players who can handle longer rallies. April weather in Jaipur can be warm, so physical fitness and hydration will play a bigger role as the tournament progresses into its later stages.
MT200 Gurugram – Second Event (11 Apr to 18 Apr 2026)
Gurugram’s second tournament of the year takes place on outdoor clay, a surface change from its March event on hard courts. With eight days on the schedule, this is the longest tournament in the India 2026 swing and gives players more time to settle into matches and push deep into draws. Players who did well in Gurugram in March will look to carry that momentum forward on a different surface.
MT100 Indore (26 Apr to 02 May 2026)
Indore closes out the India 2026 swing with a seven-day MT100 event on outdoor hard courts. As the final stop on the schedule, this event gives players one last chance to pick up ranking points or end their India campaign on a high. Indore has a strong sporting infrastructure, and the outdoor hard surface should produce some of the fastest-paced tennis of the entire Indian swing.
