Davis Cupper Digvijay Pratap Singh has been seeded No.1 in the $15,000 ITF men’s tennis tournament being played at the Ahmedabad City Tennis Foundation courts from Tuesday.
Digvijay, who won a rubber against Morocco recently in Lucknow, will open against Ryotaro Matsumura of Japan.
Second seed Florent Bax of France will play his first round against Vishnu Vardhan, who was quite sharp during the National championship last week.
The fourth quarter also features the two-time national champion Siddharth Vishwakarma who will play qualifier Atharva Sharma. More importantly, that quarter also features two bright youngsters from Gujarat, Aryan Shah and Mann Shah.
Overall, it should be a week of bright tennis as the Indian professionals get to compete at home after the first quarter of the year.
