Mumbai’s Kyra Shroff will be India’s lone campaigner at the Junior Wimbledon this year. Hoping to make it to the girls’ singles main draw, Kyra is currently playing at a Grade One event in Roehampton. The qualifying rounds for Wimbledon that begin on Thursday will feature Kyra. However, if she enters the semifinal of the ongoing ITF tournament in Roehampton, she might be exempted from playing the qualifying rounds and may walk straight into the main draw.
