National Hard Court Tennis Championship to begin today

National Hard Court Tennis Championship will begin today in New Delhi. After opting out by last year's singles champion Vishnu Vardhan, all eyes will now be on players such as lanky Tamil Nadu lad Dhakshineswar Suresh, who last year won the Under-16 National championship, Aryan Goveas and Paramveer Singh Bajwa in the men's



singles. 

Among the women players, last year's winner Riya Bhatia has also opted out of the event and Zeel Desai will head the field. Other players to watch out for would be Mihika Yadav, Sai Samhita, Snehadevi S Reddy and Mahak Jain.

Tennis is the only sport in the country where the top players do not compete at the Nationals.
