Bengaluru Open: Young Talents Train With National, And International Stars At Tennis Clinic
Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association: More than 60 budding tennis players from Bengaluru had the unique opportunity to learn from professionals at a tennis clinic held at the Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association (KSLTA) Tennis Stadium on the sidelines of the 2025 Bengaluru Open. Interacting with 38th National Games gold medallists Niki Kaliyanda Poonacha and SD Prajwal Dev, along with the current edition’s doubles finalists Blake Bayldon and Matthew Christopher Romios, and USA’s Brandon Holt’s coach, Bo Trays, the young players gained valuable insights into the sport.
The stars interacted with young athletes in a Q&A session, live drills, and hands-on coaching. Meanwhile, the youth gained insights directly from the players about fitness, nutrition, training routines, and match preparation while also demonstrating their abilities in volleys and baseline shots.
Reflecting on the event and tennis’s burgeoning status in the country, Poonacha shared his excitement: “It was really nice to represent and win a medal for Karnataka in the National Games, and I’ve noticed the level of young players is getting higher. They are better prepared. Days after that, seeing so many kids here eager to learn, eager to improve is a great sign. This gives us a strong platform for the future.”
