Ashu Jindal, COO, IMG Reliance said, “As we gear up for another edition of scintillating tennis action with one of the best playing fields ever, we are delighted to announce Mahesh Bhupathi and Daniel Nestor’s participation in the tournament. This is the first time the pair is coming together and we are sure they will transform into a force to reckon with and do great things in the forthcoming season.”

Tournament Director Tom Annear said, “We are pleased that Mahesh Bhupathi and Daniel Nestor have chosen the Aircel Chennai Open 2013 to begin their new partnership. They are talented and mature players and respect each other’s game. We’re sure they will be a pair to watch out for in the new season.”
