Fatorda indoor stadium

Fenesta Open National Tennis Championships: Siddharth Vishwakarma was climbing up the ladder of Indian tennis in 2018 and topped off the year by winning the Fenesta Open National Tennis Championships the same year. And one would have hoped that he would start building on that success thereafter.

Instead, he dropped off the circuit and started coaching in a local academy in Noida since his parents could not afford to fund his expenses. He made a comeback at the start of the year, once again won the Fenesta Open last month and capped it off with a men’s singles gold medal in the 37th National Games at the Fatorda Indoor Stadium on Sunday.

Vishwakarma defeated his state-mate and the player with whom he bagged the men’s doubles bronze, Siddharth Rawat, in three sets and made it a week to remember.
