Rimpaldeep Kaur, a tennis player from Punjab, has grabbed attention with her great tennis skills.
At a time when Sania Mirza is considered as the sensation in Indian Tennis, here comes another girl from a small village in Punjab who has all the qualities of becoming a star.

The turning point in her life came while she was studying in Grade Five in a government school.
A Sikh from the diaspora, Harvinder Singh Saran opened Harvest Tennis Academy and selected her for training in the academy and also enrolled her to study at the international level with the students who joined the academy from across the world.
She has 4 Super Series, 3 Champion Series and two National Series to her credit and she has also managed to be in the list of the top 250 junior players.
And today, she is at the NUMBER TWO rank amongst the junior players in the entire country.
