WASHINGTON,D.C.- A 13-year-old Indian-American girl is all set to play in the 2015 US Open tennis tournament after getting a wild card for the tennis championship, said a media report. A top ranked player in the Under-14 and Under-16 category in the US, Natasha Subhash, would be the youngest Indian-origin player ever to play for the Junior girls title in the Grand Slam event. Subhash is from Fairfax, VA, and...
she will begin her qualifying round match from Sept 4 when the girls’ championship kicks off. She may also be given a wild card to play in the junior girls doubles championship. Subhash follows a challenging routine to realise her dreams. She plays tennis from 8 am in the morning to about 1 pm. She has her fitness routine thrice a week. During school days, she practices after school for about five hours, six days a week.
“(There) are challenges in every sport, and in tennis you have to work a lot on your speed and strength and that has always been a challenge for me,” Subhash, a ninth class student at the Falls Church High School, said. Subhash was born to Keralite couple Subhash Kongassery and Sulekha Subhash, who migrated to the US in 1997.
