HANGZHOU: "It's a strange request. I have never given any interview during flights. That too when we are at 30,000 feet". But India's No. 1 women's singles tennis player, Ankita Raina, was gracious enough to oblige with an in-flight chat, where she spoke about her Asian Games chances, partnering Prarthana Thombare in doubles, life in general and her struggles to overcome health complications posed by Covid-19.
Ankita, who has arrived in Hangzhou for her third Asiad appearance, expressed confidence about her chances and the desire to change the colour of her medal - from bronze in Jakarta in 2018 to gold this time.
