Shikha
had received a 'Wild Card' into the Qualifying Draw and managed
to play her way into the second round of the Main Draw. It was
an exciting match in Arthur Ashe Stadium and Shikha, as well as
her father and sister, seemed pleased with her performance. The
crowd loved her and we all hope to see her back 'on stage' real
soon...
