With new lineups and reshuffled squads, each team boasts a mix of seasoned champions and emerging talents. Last season’s champions, Team Eagles, are returning with a strong lineup to defend their title, while the other teams are ready to pose serious challenges.

WTL 2024 Format and Structure

WTL employs a unique format, enhancing the competitive edge of every match. The tournament features a single round-robin stage where each team competes against the others. Points are awarded based on games won, and the top two teams advance to the final on December 22.

Each match includes four sets: Men’s Singles, Women’s Singles, and two doubles sets. If the fourth set is won by the trailing team, the match enters overtime, a thrilling twist where teams battle for every point until a winner emerges. If required, a Super Shootout – a ten-point tiebreaker – decides the outcome.

This distinctive format ensures that every game counts, making every point crucial in determining the standings.
