Friends,
Today as we see, there is no Indian singles tennis player who features among the top tennis players.People may think that it has been the case for many years and it is continuing even now.But that's wrong........Our country has tasted success in this sport in singles discipline in yester years.
In this post I would like to briefly recall the glorious past of singles Tennis in India.
RAMANATHAN KRISHNAN:
Although we are having successful Doubles players in Mahesh Bhupathi,Leander Paes and Sania Mirza,we lack that top singles player who could make strong impression on the public and children to take up the beautiful game of Tennis in our country.Hope we see a player as good as Mr.Krishnan or even better to represent India on the World arena in the near future.

RAMANATHAN KRISHNAN:
- He was among the world's leading players in 1950s and 1960s .He was twice a semifinalist at Wimbledon reaching as high as World no.6 in those days.
- He was also the first Asian to win the boy's singles title at Wimbledon.
- He was also a key member of the Indian Davis cup team.
- Critics hailed Krishnan as a "Marvel",with some describing his tennis as "Pure Oriental Charm",with some calling his style of play as "Eastern Magic".
