Indo-American tennis player Samir Banerjee lifted the Wimbledon boys’ singles title on Sunday, a remarkable triumph for the youngster, who was testing his skills in a Grand Slam for only the second time in his fledgling career.


All of 17, the player from New Jersey just wanted to win a match on the biggest stage on the junior circuit, but little did he know that he would be the last boy standing at the hallowed grass courts. And that too, when he did not have his coach Carlos Esteban with him since his wife had reportedly tested positive for COVID-19. Up against compatriot Victor Lilov, the teenager won 7-5, 6-3 in the summit clash that lasted one hour, 22 minutes.
