TIL Desk Sports/ The All India Tennis Association (AITA) is set to nominate Asian Games medallists Ankita Raina and Divij Sharan for the Arjuna Award and is deliberating on sending former India Davis Cup team coach Nandan Bal for the Dronacharya or Dhyan Chand award.
“Yes that is what we are planning to do. We are not considering anyone else for it. There is no point because they are not going to give all the awards to tennis,” AITA secretary general Hironmoy Chatterjee told. “Might as well try for the ones who are eligible so that the award committee can judge them on their merits and decide. I feel all three are strong candidates.”
Ankita is India”s top-ranked women”s singles and doubles player. She won the bronze medal in women”s singles at the 2018 Asian Games. She played eight matches in five days at the Fed Cup and won three singles and three doubles matches and helped India seal a historic play-off spot.
