When the Juneja
twins walk out on court you are in for double trouble. The Juneja's
have been making waves on the junior circuit. Recently, the
unexpected happened when the two faced off in the inter-school
(under-19) final. On that day, Rohan got the better of Gaurav. As
proud dad Tony puts in ”Rohan always plays better when he faces
Gaurav.” Both the twins
took to the game on the insistence of their father. At first both
enjoyed playing tennis, but they soon forgot about tennis and
pursued squash. They both started playing at the age of 12. Gaurav at first
did not like squash because of the excessive physical exercise
involved in the sport. The father would take the boys regularly for
jogging at the Jogger’s Park. Bothe boys often would cheat and
skip their rounds. Gaurav began growing fond of the game when he
reached a final. Gaurav tasted
success by winning the inter-school U-14 title. Both of them have
done pretty well in the Asian junior circuit Rohan reached the final
of the Singapore Open and later won a bronze medal at the Milo
Dunlop grand final in Malaysia. Gaurav won the
Singapore open (Under -16 title) and finished runner-up at the Malaysian
grand final in June 96. A stint later with Bajwa did wonders for
Gaurav’s game. His game has improved by several notches after attending
Rehmat’s coaching. |
The Juneja's are sharpening their mental skill at H. R. College. The Juneja's are also thankful to their sponsors Amit Mahtani of Lalchand Jewellers who have sponsored their trips abroad. For these two phenoms the sky is the limit.
