Pune: Hyderabad’s eight-year-old Showrya Samala, a fourth standard student at St Peter's Model School, Nacharam, is catching the attention of everyone here with his exploits in the ongoing Pune Open National tennis tournament. A trainee at Suresh Krishna Tennis Academy, Showrya has entered the finals of the Under-8 boys singles category here on Wednesday. An equally noteworthy achievement is that he is in the singles quarterfinals in the Under-10 competition.
