The WTA Indian Open is a tournament for professional female tennis players, held regularly since 2003 in various Indian cities. It was a WTA Tour event played on outdoor hardcourts. In 2008, it was classified as a Tier II event with the prize money of $600,000 – this made it the biggest women's tennis tournament in South and Southeast Asia that year. Following the restructuring of the WTA Tour in 2009, there were no WTA tournaments in India until 2022 except some WTA Challengers.
For the first time since 2008, a WTA 250 tournament will be held in India in 2022.[1]
