Top seed Fengse pockets U-8, U-10 titles at tennis event

A FAN of Roger Federer, eight-year-old Sara Fengse received the double crown of under-8 and under-10 singles’ classes at PMDTA-ICON Little Junior Champions Bronze Series Tennis Tournament. Fengse mentioned whereas her under-8 matches had been simpler, the under-10 matches had been difficult. The Class II scholar of Tree House High School, Karve Nagar, trains beneath non-public coach Vishal Nehane and has remained constant all through the event.
In the under-8 women’ singles, it was a cakewalk for Fengse within the semi-final and last matches. While she received with a 6-0 rating in opposition to Anvi Sinha, she upset Shanaya Singh within the under-8 last match with a win of 7-0. As the youngest participant within the under-10 class, Fengse toppled third seed Anushka Joglekar with a 6-0 win within the semi-final and a 7-2 win within the last in opposition to second seed Shravee Deore.
“I am happy, but this is just the beginning for me as I aim for the Grand Slams. My under-10 opponent Shravee is the top seed in her category and although I won against her, I was under tremendous pressure before the match. She is a strong opponent and has a good game, but she started to make several errors, had a couple of double faults and that is when I picked up my pace after I studied her loopholes,” she mentioned.
In the boys’ singles under-8, unseeded Yashwantraje Pawar of Solapur upset second seed Vihan Sawant with a win of 7-1. Second seed Krishay Tawade triumphed over high seed Sarvadnya Sarode with a 7-3 rating within the under-10 class.
