The Indian women’s tennis team being pruned to four members from six may be a setback, but coach Ankita Bhambri expressed confidence that Ankita Raina, Karman Kaur Thandi, Rutuja Bhosale and Prarthana Thombare would leave their mark in the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China.
Getting ready for the preparatory camp along with the men’s team from Sunday, Ankita felt that it would be a good stint for the players to tune themselves, especially in terms of striking the best possible doubles combinations.
“Women’s tennis has always done well in the Asian Games. We will do well this time too”, said Ankita, who was a player in the Asian Games in Doha (2006) and Guangzhou (2010), before being a coach in the last edition in Palembang, Indonesia, in 2018.
