Maharashtra Open[3] (known as Tata Open Maharashtra for sponsorship reasons) is a professional men's tennis tournament played on outdoor hard courts in Pune, India. It is part of the ATP Tour 250 series on the ATP Tour.
The inaugural event was held in New Delhi. It was then shifted to Chennai since its second edition, and from there it was moved to Pune in 2018, where it is held in January.[4] The tournament is owned and organized by RISE Worldwide.[5] It is the only tour level tennis event currently held in India.[6] It is also the only South Asia's ATP tour professional tennis event.[7]
It is annually organised by Maharashtra Lawn Tennis Association (MLTA).[8]
The 2022 edition is taking place behind closed doors, that is without audience, due to measures to restrain the diffusion of COVID-19 pandemic. It begins on 31 January.[9]
