The much-awaited SLTA-Yeti Hard Court Tennis Championships 2024, organized by the Sri Lanka Tennis Association (SLTA), kicks off today at the SLTA and Ladies’ College Courts in Colombo.

This year’s event has drawn an impressive 1,000+ entries from players across Sri Lanka. Participants range from emerging young athletes to seasoned professionals, all competing for top honors in various categories.

During the launch ceremony, Dr. Dilshan Balasuriya, Director of YETI, emphasized the importance of electrolytes and vitamin supplementation for athletes.
