Tighten the forearm and brush the ball before going for the top spin.
This is the new mantra of coach Somnath Ghosh which helped 23-year-old Akula Sreeja win her first senior National table tennis women’s singles title in Shillong last weekend.
Incidentally, it happens to be the first senior National women’s singles title from the united Andhra Pradesh and Telangana so far.
Somnath, a former National Games medallist, has been mentoring Sreeja since 2011 and said his trainee was far more mature and confident this time around.
“We worked really hard in the last three months to keep improving. Her fitness and skills in turn and attack after serve are the key to her success,” Somnath told The Hindu on Wednesday on return to the City.
