Indian teams for World Jr Tennis Asia/Oceania final qualifiers named


New Delhi, May 16 (IANS): Indian boys' and girls' teams for next month's ITF World Junior Tennis Competition Asia/Oceania final qualifying round have been selected, but there is some uncertainty around the competition due to the raging Covid-19 pandemic.
