Chandigarh, June 20

Vansh Sharma from Ryan International School played his first International Tennis Federation (ITF) Tournament held recently in Thailand. The 15-year-old played his first ITF tournament in the Under-18 years age group. He is ranked 150th in U-16 and 350th in the U-18 age category.

“It was a rich experience. Though I lost against a Thailand player, I got to learn many things. In upcoming championships, I will try to not repeat my mistakes,” said Sharma. He is playing next ITF tournament in Jakarta (Indonesia) next month.

Vansh is training under coach Bhupinder Singh (Prince), who is working as senior tennis coach in Strawberry Fields High School, Sector 26. “He is a great kid and emerging player of the nation. In the upcoming championships, he will have a good platform to showcase his talent,” said Bhupinder.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
