Vedant Mohan to compete on ITF junior Tour

Vedant Mohan, a 14-year-old tennis player from India, is preparing to take the next step in his career. After training in Spain, he will compete in the International Tennis Federation's junior Tour, focusing on events for players under 18 years old. Vedant will start playing in Africa at ITF J30 and J60 events in May. Currently based in Javea, Spain, Vedant has been training hard since February. He has improved significantly by competing in Tennis Europe events. Recently, he achieved his highest ranking of No. 13 in the under-14 category on his birthday, making him the only Asian in the top 25. Despite his training in Europe, Vedant faced challenges in gaining match experience, as he could not participate in several key competitions reserved for European players. He has played 102 matches, compared to many of his peers who have over 170 matches under their belts. Vedant will now compete in a mix of U-16 and U-18 tournaments while keeping his focus on ITF under-18 events. His parents moved to Spain five years ago to support his tennis journey. His father, a commercial pilot, has been funding his career. Vedant trains under Javier Ferrer, the brother of former top player David Ferrer. Vedant loves playing on clay courts, favoring his aggressive playing style. He looks up to tennis star Novak Djokovic for inspiration. His father hopes Vedant will soon participate in junior Grand Slam events, with the ultimate goal of reaching the professional ATP Tour.
