Three surfaces at tennis academy
Akash Ghai Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, June 11 Giving details about the facilities at the academy, director of the Chandigarh sports department I.S. Sandhu said, “At present there are eight courts - four synthetic and four clay, but by the end of this month four grass courts will also be ready to facilitate the tennis lovers here. The work of installing floodlights and sprinkler system will also be completed by July-end.” “The playing style of every tennis player varies according to his/her capabilities. Some play fast game while others depend on retrieving game. Grass courts suit to the fast players, who mainly depend on serves and volleys, but those who prefer to play shots from baseline are players of clay courts. So, having all types of courts is an extra advantage for trainees,” said chief coach of the academy Lalit Tandon, who joined the academy in April this year. Over 60 youngsters between the age of six and 17 have been getting training under the supervision of Tandon and Ajay Kaushik here. “Out of these, many promising players, including Harmeek Singh, Chavri Saxena, Ayna Arora, Samin Bhargav, Jaywardhan Guptaand Karamvir Singh, have been doing very well and definitely we will start producing results within six months,” said Tandon. “We are targeting around 200 players at the academy. Very soon, more coaches and physical trainers will be appointed to provide adequate attention to each and every trainee,” said Sandhu. To sharpen the proficiency of the players, the authorities have also placed an order for a bowling machine.
