The 2015 Champions Tennis League was the second edition of the Champions Tennis League.
Format
The 2015 edition of CTL was announced by Vijay Amritraj on September 23, 2015, at a press conference in Mumbai.[1] The press conference also saw the draft of the players into each team. In 2015, CTL featured six city based teams across India and saw 13 matches played over a 2-week period between November 23 and December 6. The winners' prize money was Rs. 1 crore, while the runner-up prize was Rs. 50 lakhs.
Each tie will consist of 5 sets with each set being considered as a match. Unlike the 2014 edition, the winner of a match was the player/doubles team that wins 5 games, not 6. The winner of the tie was the team that wins the highest number of games across all 5 sets.
