New Delhi: Wimbledon 2023 is underway in London, with a flock of celebrities and royals making their way to the All-England Club to watch the tennis action from the stands. One of the leading content creators from India, Larissa D’Sa will be marking her debut innings at this year’s championships, becoming the first lifestyle influencer from India to be invited as a guest spectator at the world’s oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament.
Larissa who is a keen tennis enthusiast stated, "My introduction to the sport happened at a very early phase of my life. During my early teens, I watched practically every tournament with my father and he used to educate me on the technicalities of the game. My fondest memory of tennis dates back to school when I started maintaining a journal with cutouts of interviews with tennis stars and all kinds of news from the world of tennis. My all-time favourite players have been Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal."
"What really attracted me to the sport was how tennis is a game of mental agility which has always been my motto in life. Whilst I played football in college, it was always my secret desire to learn tennis but I didn’t have the financial resources to pursue it further. Today life comes full circle for me as I’ve been one of the chosen few to attend Wimbledon and watch the tennis legends live in action. I’m extremely grateful and excited as my father will be attending Wimbledon along with me. He literally broke into tears when I surprised him with the news and I couldn’t think of a better sporting plus one than him.", she further added.
Talking about Larissa's outfit, the travel blogger and entrepreneur will amp up the court-side style quotient by wearing an Adagio ensemble coupled with accessories from her fine jewellery line 'Beyond Larissa'.
Interestingly, she is also expected to team up over game of tennis with Indian tennis legend Sania Mirza who will compete in the Ladies Legends Invitation Doubles Category over a game of tennis.
