The Fenesta National Tennis Championship, a prestigious event in the Indian tennis calendar, is set to commence on Monday at the DLTA Complex in New Delhi. Former champions Vishnu Vardhan and Vaidehi Chaudhari have been seeded No.1 in the men’s and women’s events, respectively.
Vardhan, a seasoned campaigner, has won the national title twice before, in 2014 and 2016. He will face stiff competition from other former champions, including Manish Sureshkumar and V.M. Ranjeet. Dalwinder Singh, another former champ, is also vying for a berth in the main draw through the qualifying rounds.
In the women’s section, Riya Bhatia has been seeded second and will be eager to showcase her strong game, which has seen her triumph in both the hard court and grass court national titles in the past. Vaidehi Chaudhari, the top seed, will be looking to defend her title and extend her dominance in Indian women’s tennis.
The tournament will also feature an under-18 event, providing a glimpse of the future stars of Indian tennis. The qualifying rounds have already showcased the improved quality and fitness of the aspiring players.
The Fenesta National Tennis Championship offers a significant prize pool of ₹3,00,000 for the men’s and women’s champions, making it an attractive event for players who are accustomed to competing for meager prize money in the domestic circuit.
