KOLKATA, MAY 25. Top seeded Ranjan Prasad will lead the challenge in the boys' section while Snigdha Kapoor has earned the top billing in the girls' section in the AITA Talent Series (under-14) meet, being hosted by Serampore sub-divisional Tennis Club, which will see the main draw events commencing on Wednesday.

The other important names in the boys' singles section are Mohammad Imran, Bibaswan Deb and Rohan Roy while two Tamil Nadu participants, S. Prasanth and Mohammad Niyaz, also figure in the eight seeds announced on Tuesday.
