Pune Open explains plan to bring Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal in future

But, then, if you bring the Big 4, we have to have at least 10000-15000 (capacity). We are considering (increasing the stadium capacity next year onwards)…Just getting the Big 4 will not help but we also have to make sure that once the Big 4 come, the tennis promotion in the state of Maharashtra in India should also go on. On Pune Open taking after place the Australian Open in 2020, Sutar added: Now, there have been discussions that we will be getting the week 6 so I think it will be better for us because this year, due to Christmas time and New Years Eve, we have tough times managing the event.

Once it goes to week 6, we will probably be better off. On the world No. 7 Marin Cilics withdrawal, Sutar concluded: I spoke with him, he has not yet recovered from his knee injury. It will take time for him to heal and he wont play this years event.
