The following is the tentative schedule for the domestic season, released by the All India Tennis Association (AITA) on June 26th, 1998. (Courtesy: PTI, Times of India, The Hindu) .. Last Updated: June 26th ..

Notes (June 26): The mistakes in the May 14 release from AITA which listed two ITF Men's Futures for Nov 23rd along with Asia Cup has been corrected .. The Rajashahi Futures (Bangladesh) in the May 14 schedule has been replaced with an Islamabad Futures (Pakistan) for Nov 16th .. The four $5K women's ITF futures appear on the ITF calendar now .. The October satellite circuit in India and the following futures at Calcutta (Nov 9) and Islamabad also appear in the ITF calendar now (though the futures are listed as $10K, which implies a 32-draw event, as the $15K events normally have 64-men draws) .. The newspaper reports do not mention the regional AITA junior events which were listed on May 14th, but I assume they are still there and have kept them in the schedule below .. The ITF Junior international at Calcutta (Dec 7) appears on the ITF schedule .. The final question is : where have all the grass gone ????? ...
