TABLE tennis ace Sreeja Akula is full of optimism and ready for a fresh start. The second-highest ranked woman player from the country's (World No 33) immediate objective is a good outing in the WTT Star Contender Chennai. She is not shy of confidence having made solid preparations.

With an event of this magnitude being held for the first time here, there is bound to be high expectations from her side. "Yeah, it feels great (to be second-highest ranked Indian player), but for me it's more important to just give my best on the table and I'm not worried a lot about the rankings and all that because that adds extra pressure so I am just thinking and focusing on the game and I just want to give my best," said Sreeja.
