Yunnan youngster eyes significant court exploits

When he started learning tennis at age 8, Wang Fa — now 14 and the winner of a boy's singles title — didn't know a thing about a sport where "love" means nothing.

But after winning the under-14 title at the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, in August, Wang has nothing but love for the game, and has become an internet sensation. His is known for carrying his tennis rackets in a bamboo basket, which definitely boosts his virtual recognition.

Wang, a member of the Va ethnic group in Cangyuan Va autonomous county, Yunnan province, was one of the first 10 children selected to play professional tennis at a local club in 2016.
