In all other sports India is moving in positive directions, In many sports like wrestling, Shooting, boxing, badminton we have generated a poll of good teenage players. But I am not seeing happening this in Tennis. Leander & Rohan are in the last phase of their carrier, but nobody is emerging to substitute them. In girls there is looking like a big vacuum after Sania. Moreover in junior events of Grand slams our boys & girls are not making any mark. I don’t know whether my assumption about tennis is correct or not. But if yes, then we are surely going to face big problem in tennis. May be we relegated to group 2 in Davis cup. I think we need a Gopichand in Tennis very soon. Mahesh has started a tennis institute in Bangalore; I hope he will do same to tennis, what Gopichand is doing to badminton.

We have Ramkumar who is 21, Yuki at 23 and Sumit at 19 who are future in Singles Men's

We have Mahesh prodigy she is 17 and doing good. If you see my old posts I have spoken about young Indians in Tennis.

We have had talent coming in tennis for quite some time. Youngsters doing decent at the youth circuit, including GS. But sadly, except Saina for a short time, none of the others have come even close to expectations in Senior Singles. I would love if these youngsters buck the trend, but history suggests that we should be cautious while having expectations.
