New Delhi, July 22: The Indian team has been denied entry into the upcoming ITF World Junior Tennis Finals in Prostejov as India has been classified as ‘extreme risk’ nation in COVID times. The Czech Republic Embassy here has refused to issue visas to the players. The All India Tennis Association (AITA) earlier this month named a three-member Under-14 boys team for the tournament. “It’s unfortunate. The boys needed exposure. If they had to deny us visas, why did the ITF enter our team in the tournament,” said AITA secretary General Anil Dhupar. (PTI)
