This was second consecutive ATP Chennai Open title for Wawrinka and third time since 2011. With this win, Wawrinka pocketed 73400 US dollar and 250 ranking points. He also becomes the first player to win Chennai Open title for three times.
TN Govt’s Rs. 2 crore for Chennai Open 2015: As part of its sports promotion activities, Tamil Nadu government sanctioned Rs 2 crore for conducting the popular tennis tournament, Chennai Open 2015. This was in line with the former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's earlier announcement of sanctioning the amount annually for holding the tournament from 2014 to 2016. Tamil Nadu government, which is the Platinum Sponsor for the popular event, has "sanctioned its contribution of Rs two crore," the release said while recalling various other sports promotion activities of the government, including hiking cash rewards for medal winners in Olympics and other international games. The Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu tennis stadium which hosts the premier event, has been given a facelift following a Rs 4.50 crore upgradation initiative approved by Jayalalithaa last year.
