Türkiye Tennis League Finals Have Begun

One of the most prestigious organizations of Turkish tennis at the club level, the Türkiye Tennis League Finals, began with a press conference held at Taç Spor Club with the participation of Turkish Tennis Federation (TTF) President Ms. Şafak Müderrisgil and Taçspor Club President Mr. Ali Polat Bengiserp.

The finals, in which 128 athletes from a total of 27 teams in the women's and men's categories will compete, are taking place at Istanbul Taç Spor Club between December 15–21, 2025. The organization will offer a high-level sports feast to tennis lovers with the final matches to be played on the weekend.

Taçspor Club President Mr. Ali Polat Bengiserp emphasized in his speech that they have attached strategic importance to tennis as a club for a long time, stating, “We underwent a significant transformation starting from last year to create a more competitive structure. We are very proud to host the Türkiye Tennis League Finals for two consecutive years. I believe it will be a very enjoyable tennis week for athletes and spectators.”

“The Türkiye Tennis League is not just a championship; it is a structure that guides the development of tennis in our country and centers on clubs.”

Turkish Tennis Federation President Ms. Şafak Müderrisgil stated that the Türkiye Tennis League is not merely a championship but a strategic structure that guides the development of Turkish tennis and centers on the clubs. Ms. Müderrisgil emphasized that the participation of clubs from all corners of Türkiye in the league carries great importance in terms of spreading tennis to the grassroots and creating a sustainable sports culture.

Stating that the Federation provides infrastructure and transportation support to the teams and that the athletes ranking in the finals will also win financial prizes, Ms. Müderrisgil underlined the contributions provided by the Ministry of Youth and Sports, ranging from facility construction to athlete development, and conveyed her thanks.

“As of 2026, we are adding the Development League to the Türkiye Tennis League.”

Drawing attention to the inclusive and sustainable structure of the Türkiye Tennis League in her speech, President Ms. Müderrisgil stated that they are on the verge of a significant transformation process in the league system. In this context, she announced that the “Development League” will be included within the body of the Türkiye Tennis League as of 2026.

Emphasizing that an important structural transformation process has been entered for the Türkiye Tennis League, President Ms. Müderrisgil made the following explanations:

“Until now, our league structure consisted of two basic systems: the 18 & Under Team Championship and the Türkiye Tennis League for ages over 14. However, there was a gap that prevented our athletes, especially in the 12–14 age range, from being involved in inter-club competition in a regular and systematic manner. To respond to this need, we are adding the Development League to the Türkiye Tennis League as of 2026.

The Development League will be a very important structural step that ensures young athletes participate in the right competitive environment at the right age, strengthens the infrastructure and development processes of our clubs, and aims to build the long-term strength of Turkish tennis.

With this new league, the Türkiye Tennis League will be spread throughout the year to cover younger age groups, our clubs will raise their athletes with team consciousness from early ages, the competition level and sporting quality will rise at every stage, and the discovery of new talents will be placed on a much more systematic foundation.”

Ms. Müderrisgil also emphasized that the support İş Bankası will provide as the main sponsor as of 2026 is of great importance for the sustainability of the Development League and the Türkiye Tennis League, and expressed her gratitude for the trust placed in Turkish tennis.

Within the scope of the Türkiye Tennis League Finals, the Women's Final will be played on Saturday, December 20, and the Men's Final will be played on Sunday, December 21, at 10:00, and will be broadcast live on TRT Spor Yıldız.
