National C’ship: A lot at stake for India’s budding stars

The Hindu  

Will there be new champions at the Fenesta National tennis championship that begins at the DLTA Complex on Monday? There could be, especially in the men’s event in which there are as many as four former National champions, including Vishnu Vardhan who came through the qualifying event. There will still be some tough first-round matches, as Mohit Mayur takes on third seed Ishaque Eqbal, while sixth seed Dalwinder Singh meets V. M. Ranjeet. ‘Well prepared’ In the women’s event, Sowjanya Bavisetti and Bhuvana Kalva have been seeded at the top, ahead of Vaidehi Chaudhari and four-time National champion Prerna Bhambri. “I am hoping to get back to decent form with some good matches,” said second seed Bhuvana Kalva, who will start against the tenacious Sara Yadav.
