Saketh Myneni’s love for Tennis

A Vizagite, born in the city, Saketh Myneni started his schooling at Timpany. His initial tryst with tennis began at the local tennis courts and at Century Club, where his father was a member. It was after all his passion and drive right from when he was a young boy. “I was always interested in outdoor sports of some kind, but when I turned 11; I knew it was going to be tennis for me. I picked up the sport faster than many others and my visual learning capabilities made me good at the game from the start,” he said

in an earlier interview to Yo! Vizag.
