Bernadette Szocs - Romanian table tennis sensation wins Indian hearts in Ultimate Tennis Tennis

When other nine-year-olds in most parts of the world were developing either the required grip, confidence or intricate motor skills to graduate to writing with the pen from pencil, Bernadette Cynthia Szőcs was making the ping-pong ball turn square on the table with her paddle at CS Gloria Bistrița-Năsăud, predominantly a football club in Romania.

Today, the table tennis fraternity stands indebted to her brother Hunor, himself a professional, for gifting the world the sensational Bernie—as Szőcs is often lovingly called— whose tomahawk and pendulum are services to swear by.
