The young duo of Ishaan Bhatnagar and Tanisha Crasto spoke to The Bridge before the European leg of the tour kicked off in full force and the Syed Modi champions relayed their excitement on getting into the All England draw and facing their idols.

Excerpts:

"I've played international tournaments before as well but not at this level! We even got an entry for the All England," a dazed Ishaan said before expressing his fear and excitement regarding facing the legendary Indonesian pair of Praveen Jordan-Melati Oktavianti in the opener of the Super 1000 in Birmingham.

"I used to watch Praveen Jordan's videos on YouTube and watch and learn from it and now we have to play against him, it's crazy," Ishaan gushed.
