A tour to remember for our junior players at the ITF Asia 14&U Development Championships 2022 finals.

It was a victorious ending in Thailand for our trio named Tanussh Ghidyal, Aishwarya Jadhav and Aakruti Narayan Sonkusare as tanussh emerged as singles champion in the boys’ category and the duo of Aishwarya & Aakruti won the doubles crown in the girl’s event.

A series of top-ranked players from Asian countries were featured in the tie including from India, which consisted of Tanussh Ghidyal of Karnataka, Aishwarya Jadhav and Aakruti Sonkusare of Maharashtra. Mr Saurav Panja had been nominated as the head coach and Ms Nupur Kaul as an Assistant Coach of the team. Tanussh overpowered Devesh Saravanan in the singles final of the boys’ category 3-6 6-3 6-4 and the duo Aishwarya / Aakruti outsmarted M Goenadi / A Junarto in the doubles final in the girls’ category 6-1 6-3.

Kudos to our players and to all the others including trainers, coaches, physios, ground staff, and others who are doing their jobs fabulously behind all these results.

Special thanks to all our state affiliates for having back-to-back tournaments for all the age groups, which are helping players to deliver on the bigger stage.

We wish them the very best in their future endeavours and hope they will help the Indian flag to fly higher on the world stage.
