Former ATP 62 Somdev Devvarman questions the lack of quality in India's Tennis coaching system
India currently has just one player (Sumit Nagal) in the ATP Singles Top 450
(via Prajwal Hegde/TOI)
This match so far is the opposite of what we're used to seeing
Novak's always to making a tough decision on every other shot (including first and second serves)
And Alcaraz always has the answer

Bops first told me he was contemplating retirement 5 years ago, then 4 years ago, then 3 years ago...
Moral of the story is.... Who cares...
He's number 1! 👑
Couldn't be happier for the Bopanna family!
@rohanbopanna is all ♥️ and the best story in indian sport!
Somdev Devvarman and Purav Raja is the best Indian tennis commentators I have seen, their analysis of the matches at the US Open is absolutely brilliant keep it up guys👍👍😆

Moments after the NCAA final in 07, @JohnIsner invited me & Huey to his party that night to join his family & friends
Literally 2 mins after he lost a 3rd set tie break in front of his home crowd
16 years later, that's the shit I remember
His heart is bigger than his serve
John Isner on his legacy:
“What my legacy is? I’m not sure. I just want to be remembered most importantly from my colleagues, as a guy that’s pretty easy to get along with off court. I think I’ve had great relationships with the guys before me, my contemporaries, & then the young guys. I’m always gonna be in their corner when I’m long gone. I’d just want my legacy to be someone that was pretty affable & easy to get along with.”
An unforgettable legacy.
An unforgettable person. ❤️
Coaching from the sidelines adds zero to the product. Even more distracting watching the coaching on TV. Players should always have been left to figure it out themselves once they entered the arena.. #usopen
Novak faced 1 BP in the first game. First serve bailed him out.
Alcaraz faced 6. Two 2nd serves and lost both.
Won 1 point on his second serve in the opening set
Greatness on display forcing Alcaraz to constantly raise his level
We spoke with former tennis pro @SomdevD on the making of his recently-released debut album 'One Three Two,' one that's inspired by the likes of @davematthewsbnd and poses plenty of philosophical questions through singer-songwriter tunes.

It's been a while since @SomdevD hung up his racquet (professionally). But now the former India No 1 has made the first big move into a new industry - music. He's released a first studio album, and looks forward to see where it take him.
