Leander Paes and Vijay Amritraj, both from India, are the first Asian men to be elected to the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
Paes, who won 18 Grand Slam titles in men's doubles or mixed doubles, enters in the Player Category, while Amritraj, an ex-player, broadcaster and promoter, is chosen in the Contributor Category.
Richard Evans, a British journalist and historian, is also being inducted next year in the Contributor Category.

The induction ceremony will be held in Newport, Rhode Island, on July 20, 2024.
