International Pickleball players headed to India for PWR India Masters

Mumbai: Pickleball World Rankings (PWR), the unified global ranking system for pickleball players, is set to host the PWR DUPR India Masters in New Delhi.

The tournament will take place on October 24-27, 2024 at the RK Khanna Tennis Stadium. This is the first fully owned and operated event by PWR, following the launch of the PWR World Tour in July 2024 in Dubai, the UAE. In the New Delhi event, a roster of 750 players - both professionals and amateurs-will compete.

"Pickleball is now the fastest growing sport in India," said Vineet Jain, managing director of The Times Group. "This will further boost the player and fan engagement and drive many more players to make pickleball as a full-time career option."


Participants in the PWR DUPR India Masters include top international players such as Dustin Boyer (United States), Phuc Huynh (United States), Roos Van Reek (Netherlands), Mitch Hargreaves (Australia), Emilia Schmidt (Australia), Pei Chuan Kao (Chinese Taipei), as well as leading Indian players like Armaan Bhatia and Aditya Ruhela.

They will compete for a prize pool of $50,000.
