Agnel Gladwin (Maharashtra), Yuki Bhambri (Delhi), G K Shwetha (Karnataka) and Nandita Krishnan (Tamil Nadu) will represent India at the Nike Junior Tour International Masters tennis tournament in South Africa's Sun City.

Nike officials said 25 countries are taking part in the tournament, slated to begin on November 1.

Gladwin (boys' under-14), Bhambri (boys' under-12), Shwetha (girls' under-14) and Nandita (girls' under-12) emerged tops in their respective age categories in the four-day NJT National Masters, which concluded in Bangalore on Saturday.

32 finalists from the four zonal tournaments -- in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Hyderabad -- competed at the National Masters at the Nike Bhupathi Tennis Village in Bangalore.

Nike officials said the four winners are also scheduled to play a world team tennis tournament. They said NJT is a world class junior tennis concept developed by Nike to promote young and budding tennis players.
