Key is to start early. Early start puts you ahead of the crowd and make you lead the crowd and with this aim in mind ATF is set to start “Young Tennis Star Program” for the Asian Players.
The program starts with the kids’ tennis for age group of below 5 years, by generating interest in tennis and motivating them to aim for professional career in the lovely sports of tennis. A series of promotional activities through videos, on court sessions and educating the coaches equipped to train this age group of players are being planned along with the players. The primary focus is to prepare kids for the ITF JTI, educate the coaches and more importantly the parents for efficient grooming of the young stars. ATF YTS program is structured for complete eco system around the kids tennis. Smaller nations in particular will be beneficiary at large with a proper and focused approach of ATF YTS.

ATF Live Stream and Score Review
In 2025, we successfully organized and held 160 tournaments using a professional real-time results broadcasting system (Live Score).
The implementation and stable operation of Live Score significantly increased the interest of spectators, partners, participants, and fans, and confirmed the high level of convenience and transparency of refereeing.
Holding 160 tournaments with Live Score was an important step in the development of tennis in our regions and confirmed the ATF's status as a leader in the use of modern digital technologies to promote tennis in Asia.
