My First Grand Slam Quarter-Final At Wimbeldon Is Very Special : Arnav Paparkar
Arnav Paparkar is not only in great form but also has a lot of variety : Vijay Amritraj
Speaking on JioStar's 'Wimbledon Daily Live', teenage sensation Arnav Paparkar spoke about his win against Ryo Tabata in Boys' Singles:
"I am really happy with this win against Ryo Tabata. I had lost to him twice before, so finally getting the win feels great. This is also my first Grand Slam quarter-final, and to achieve that at Wimbledon makes it even more special. I am really excited for the rounds ahead."
On the mental challenge of facing an opponent carrying an injury:
"This was the toughest match I have played so far in this tournament. The scoreline doesn't show it, but he was carrying an injury, and it is really difficult to play against an injured opponent because a lot of things keep playing on your mind. You start thinking that he is struggling, and that can make you lose focus. You feel a bit relaxed, but then your intensity drops, and suddenly you lose the momentum. In tennis, that can change everything. "
Speaking on JioStar's 'Wimbledon Daily Live', JioStar expert Vijay Amritraj praised Arnav Paparkar's style of play:
"Arnav Paparkar is not only in great form but also has a lot of variety. He can attack the net, stay back on the baseline, and keep rallies going with consistent groundstrokes. His movement is sharp, and he reads the game well. He also has good shot selection, knowing when to step in and finish points at the net. On top of that, he is tall and has a strong serve, which gives him easy points and helps him stay out of trouble. He is a complete player with a bright future."
