PTF postpones ITF Futures Tournaments
Pakistan Tennis Federation will now organize the Future Tennis tournaments in 2020, which were schedule to be held in December this year.
Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF) is not going to organise any ITF Futures event this year due to South Asian Games (SAG) in December.
PTF in its annual activity calendar submitted to Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) mentioned two ITF Futures events (each carrying prize purse of $15,000) in December.
The first was to be Kulsum Saifullah Khan Memorial from December 9-15 and the second was Benazir Shaheed Open from December 16-22 in Islamabad.
“We have changed our plan due to South Asian Games,” said Senior Executive Vice President of PTF Khawar Hyat when asked.
He said the Futures are held in December every year but this time they were busy preparing for SAG so it was not possible to organise these events.
“We will organise these Futures next year,” said Khawar.
It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan held three Futures (each carrying prize purse of $15,000) in December last year.
