MBTA holds ball kids hunt in Delhi NCR

Mahesh Bhupathi Tennis Academies conducted India’s first-ever ball boys and girls hunt at the Maple Town and Country Club for the upcoming Coca-Cola International Premier Tennis League in the capital on Monday.

Those selected were Durvish Handa, Jayant Varma, Archita Mahalwal, Lakshya Gupta, Neharika Ann, Mann, Amrita Yadav, Ananya Bhargava and Hrithik Vohra.

The winners will be trained for three to four days in Delhi before the second season of the IPTL begins on December 10.

Ball boys and girls play an important role, and being selected for an international league is a matter of pride for any budding tennis aspirants.

“The event has evoked a great response from the children and parents in Delhi NCR. The kids showed terrific confidence and stamina.

“It is a great platform for young tennis aspirants to watch an international tennis league from up-close and learn from their favourite tennis idols,” said Gaurav Natekar, MBTA chief executive.
