MUMBAI: She became the first Indian tennis player to win a medal at the Asian Games when she bagged a bronze at the Jakarta & Palembang Games in 2018, and this time, India's numero uno tennis player Ankita Raina is aiming to "change the colour" of her medal at Hangzhou 2022 in September-October.
"If you see the history of the Asian Games, we've performed very well in other sports. We've won a lot of medals in them. The Asian Games are very important, big in India. So, the pressure that comes while playing in them is of a different level. The atmosphere at the Asian Games is completely different compared to that while playing in the ITF circuit. I won a bronze at Palembang, and played in the 2014 Incheon Games too. So, I've a bit more experience. I'll try to change the colour of my medal this time," Raina told TOI on Saturday on the sidelines of a special screening of the Wimbledon final in the city by the tournament's organisers.
