Under junior championships

All England Lawn Tennis Club: Two of Karnataka’s brightest young stars, Puneeth Manohar and Srishti Kiran, are officially set to make their historic grass-court debuts in the prestigious 14 & Under Junior Championships at Wimbledon, which will take place at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in London from July 9 to July 12.

Incidentally, Puneet and Srishti are the only Indians representing the country in the U-14 category.

Both the 14-year-old Bengaluru athletes earned their exclusive qualification spots following extraordinary, dominant campaigns in the finals of the ITF Asia 14 & Under Development Championships held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, where they secured their places on the elite ITF Grand Slam Player Development Programme (GSPDP) touring team.
