Manish Sureshkumar Launches Title Defence At The National Tennis Championship With Victory
Fenesta Open National Tennis Championship: Defending champion Manish Sureshkumar of Tamil Nadu began the Fenesta Open National Tennis Championship 2023 on a positive note with a win over Maan Kesharwani (Uttar Pradesh) in the men's singles category, here on Monday.
The No. 4 seed faced an early challenge as the precision of Kesharwani's shots from the baseline disrupted his rhythm. However, Sureshkumar was soon back into his groove and played outstanding forehands coupled with accurate backhands to win the match 6-4, 6-4 and move into the second round of the tournament.
"Last year was a good experience as I went on to win the tournament and I would like to continue the same. I played my first match today and I was not feeling very sharp but as I play more matches here I will get into the groove, and hopefully, I will be able to repeat what I did last season," commented Sureshkumar after the hard-fought victory.
