Tennis in India

The game of tennis enjoys a considerable following in India thanks to the achievements of some of the leading players. While the Leander Paes-Mahesh Bhupathi duo dominated the double circuit by annexing a host of Grand Slam titles, Sania Mirza has emerged as a teen idol due to her impressive performance.

But for a country that has been doing consistently well in tournaments like Davis Cup, there has been a conspicuous lack of promising youngsters. After doing well in domestic circuit and junior tournaments, most of the budding players fade into oblivion.

It is high time the All India tennis Federation took notice of the ground situation and did the needful to raise the standard of lawn tennis in India. At a time when India is hosting ATP tournaments, it is indeed embarrassing to see someone like Leander Paes still spearheading the Indian challenge in the absence of newcomers.
