  Orissa tennis girl on tour to Europe
02 Aug 2008
 

Seeulee Upadhyaya, the second highest ranked under-12 tennis player of India is all set to leave Bangalore tomorrow for a month-long training and tournament stint in Europe. According to Seeulee``s father Badal Kumar Upadhyaya, she will train for a week in Italy and then travel to Germany to participate in three junior tournaments there. Ranked India No 1 in under-12 age group earlier this year, the Orissa girl has, in the meanwhile, slipped to No 2 position because of not playing tournaments after joining Bangalore-based Mahesh Bhupati Tennis Academy as a trainee.

 

MBTA selected Seeulee a few months ago under FIST (Foundation of Indian Sporting Talent), a scheme fully sponsored by Apollo Tyres. "Her expenses for the Europe tour will also be borne by the tyre company," said the girls`` father.
