With the excitement of Season 3 underway, fans and players alike are eager to see if reigning champions can defend their title, or if a new team will emerge victorious.

Tournament Format and Fair Play

The Gymkhana Premier League follows a carefully structured format, managed seamlessly through the TennisKhelo app. The two groups, each consisting of five teams, are designed to create a balanced and competitive environment. Each team has six players, who are divided into categories named after tennis legends Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray. These categories are based on daily performance, skill level, and data collected through the app.

The matches are structured to offer maximum excitement. Each match consists of one set, with a 7-point tiebreak at 6-6. A deuce is decided by the best of three points, adding an extra layer of tension and strategy. Teams must win 2 out of 3 matches to secure a victory, ensuring that every game is crucial.

In the event of a tie in team rankings, the team with the most overall games won will advance. If the tie persists, the winner of the head-to-head clash between the teams will move forward, ensuring a clear path to the finals.

Looking Ahead: Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Finals
