Vijay Amritraj parked his professional career a long time ago, but he has never lost interest in the professional circuit, especially in these recent times where we are seeing so many changes in a calendar that clearly favors big stages and forgets about the small ones.

“We don't need more ATP 500 tournaments in Asia right now, we need the 250s. It is these tournaments that allow tennis to remain a truly global sport. If someone wants to invest more, that's fine, but not at the expense of entire regions. Cutting down on 250 tournaments is a serious mistake; South America, Africa, and Asia must have events,” stated the former Indian player in an interview rescued by Ubitennis.
