    Next Gen Has Arrived | Maaya Rajeshwaran, Manas Dhamne and Sonobe Impress | Interview with Haresh

    On Episode 24 of the Tennis Asia Podcast, we review a very successful week for three teenage players on the professional circuit, namely 15-year-old Maaya Rajeshwaran Revathi and 17-year-old Manas Dhamne, both from India, and 17-year-old Wakana Sonobe of Japan. Maaya, who recently joined the Rafa Nadal Academy, came through qualifying to reach the semifinals of the WTA 125 event in Mumbai, while Manas Dhamne won his first professional title, becoming the second youngest Indian male to do so. Indian tennis journalist, Haresh Ramchandani, was at the event in Mumbai and he joined Eddie to give us the lowdown on these talented prospects as well as Indian tennis as a whole. Meanwhile, Sonobe qualified for the WTA 500 event in Abu Dhabi and won her first-round match, just after lifting the girls singles trophy at the Australian Open. The future of Asian tennis is looking bright!
