FENESTA OPEN NATIONAL TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP celebrated its 30th edition with the unveiling of a special ‘30:LOVE’ installation, symbolising three decades of partnership between DCM Shriram and Indian tennis. The installation was unveiled by DCM Shriram Ltd chairman & senior managing director Ajay S. Shriram and Fenesta Building Systems business head Saket Jain.
Over the past three decades, the Fenesta Open, held under the aegis of the All India Tennis Association (AITA) and the Delhi Lawn Tennis Association (DLTA), has grown into one of the country’s largest domestic championships for young tennis players. The tournament has provided a vital platform for emerging athletes to sharpen their skills and pursue their ambitions.
Shriram said, “We started this tournament 30 years ago, it kept growing and we saw the passion and interest of the players, parents, and the sports community. We wanted to create a forum for budding youngsters to showcase their talent, compete in an organized manner, and build their strength to play at national and international levels. The real inspiration has always been the players, their effort, passion, and heart have uplifted the game, and it is encouraging to see so many youngsters go on to achieve success nationally and internationally. Taking up any sport is a great thing for youngsters. It builds focus, attention, and the drive to compete and strive for perfection. Life itself is competition, and my advice to youngsters is to put their heart and soul into the game if they have the passion for it. Winning and losing are both part of the journey, but with effort your quality of play goes up, and you make yourself and your family proud, that I believe, is the most important.”
