A look at the four Coca-Cola IPTL venues

The Indira Gandhi Arena hosted the India leg of the Coca-Cola IPTLThe inaugural Coca-Cola International Premier Tennis League (IPTL) event has reached the half-way mark and is already making noise for its exciting new format that brings out the best of the best international players on a single court.The other reason for the great response it is receiving is the cities in which the IPTL event is being carried out: New Delhi, Manila, Dubai, and Singapore. The common link between these cities is that the fans in these places – except, of course, Dubai – have hardly ever watched a top tennis player in a competition.The Coca-Cola IPTL has hit the perfect mark by locating its camps where people are craving for that once-in-a-lifetime experience of watching their heroes play. And to augment that experience, the teams’ franchises have picked state-of-the-art venues to give a perfect setting to players and fans alike for a totally new experience.Here’s an outline of the sporting venues hosting the Happiness Open:
