Jensi Kanabar’s leap of faith shows Chennai tennis crowd a glimpse of the future

Chennai For the qualifying round of the WTA 250 Chennai Open, the two Indian wild cards had already been announced — Diya Ramesh and Shrivalli Bhamidipaty. But the Tamil Nadu Tennis Association had promised Dipakbhai Kanabar that Shrivalli’s wild card will be reallocated to Jensi, his 14-year-old daughter, provided they were on-site in case Shrivalli made the cut based on her ranking after a few withdrawals. Dipakbhai and Jensi took a leap of faith.
