India is Getting Ready for the Asian Games

Somdev Devvarman (IND) |

Somdev Devvarman and Sania Mirza will lead India’s tennis team in the Asian Games, which will be held November 12-27 in Guangzhou, China. In announcing the six men and six women to represent India, the All India Tennis Association (AITA) noted that Leander Paes will not be available because he has qualified to compete in the ATP World Tour Finals in London during the same period.

The AITA included on its team Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna, although their availability would depend on their not qualifying for the World Tour Finals. Other members of the men’s team include Vishnu Vardhan and Karan Rastogi, while Sanam Singh’s section will be subject to the approval from the University of Virginia, where he is a student-athlete. Besides Mirza, others selected for the women’s squad are Poojashree Venkatesh, Nirupama Sanjeev, Rushmi Chakravarthi, Tara Iyer and Shivika Burman.
