India's top tennis players, including Yuki Bhambri, Saketh Myneni and Ankita Raina, will be seen in action at the PSPB inter-unit tournament, beginning here tomorrow.
Yuki, country's highest-ranked singles player at number 107, will spearhead the challenge of ONGC but Rohan Bopanna, India's best doubles player at number 8, has pulled out of the 8-team tournament due to a strain. He was in the IOCL team.
"I am just testing a abductor strain, which I picked up in Dubai. My Physio has asked me to take one week off," Bopanna told PTI.
India's number two singles player Saketh Myneni (158) will play for GAIL while Ramkumar Ramanathan will fight it out for IOCL.
Yuki will have national championship finalist Vishnu Vardhan
(437 rank) as his teammate.
India's top women singles player Ankita Raina, who broke back into top-300 after semfinal appearance at Delhi Open, will also compete for ONGC while national champion Prerna Bhambri is part of the GAIL team.
