Pari Singh was the only Indian player to make it to the ITF Asian under-14 team for the European circuit.
With six boys and six girls selected, there was ample scope for the Indian players. However, the fact that three were chosen on the basis of the two tournaments in Uzbekistan, and three more were included on the basis of their performances in the World junior tennis, made it hard for a few good players like Yuvan Nandal, who had won the title, to make the cut.
Pari did make one final and lost early in the second tournament. But, she was quite impressive in winning her singles matches in the World junior event in the Asia Oceania zone in Kuala Lumpur. However, she was lucky to gain a slot in the Asian team as one of the originally selected player expressed inability to be part of the European circuit.
The players and the coaches are scheduled to reach Paris on July 4. They will play in Paris, Netherlands, France (Nantes), Duren (Germany) and Hasselt (Belgium).
