Indian tennis had its most consequential Sunday in years on July 26 as the All India Tennis Association (AITA) held an extraordinary general meeting that had been building toward confrontation for weeks. However, the room itself was anything but simple, with the federation’s Executive Committee and court-appointed administrator Justice (retd.) AITA’s Executive Committee resisted this, arguing that state bodies represent millions of grassroots stakeholders and shouldn’t be diluted. Why was the AITA Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) called? The meeting was convened to amend and align AITA’s decades-old constitution with the mandates of the new National Sports Governance Act.
