Famous for carrying his tennis rackets in a bamboo basket, Wang Fa, a 14-year-old dark horse who won the U14 boys' singles title in the Guangzhou stop of the 2022 ASICS Tennis Junior Tour in late August, has become an internet sensation.
Wang, a Chinese Wa ethnic boy, started to learn tennis after he was selected by Zhang Xiaohong, head coach of a tennis club in southwest China's Yunnan Province in 2016.
For Wang, winning this title is just the beginning of a promising future. The rising star said he would head to the top spots in the professional arena.
