I have been reading your opinions on Tennis coaching in India and they are quite interesting. Having head the Coaches education department of AITA and being a member the AITA Coaches Committee, i just feel it is my responsible to put in my views. WHat I'm sayting is my personal view and may not nece...

Guys, would like to tell you that they dont need money for this trip.  The Karnataka Govt. & KSLTA have given her money which should be sufficient for this trip (if she is / gets into the MD of USO). GVK group is supporting both of them with air tickets. All they need is moral support & if t...

Hi, Poojashree & her father would be traveling to NY for the USO Jrs. As of now she is 5 out in Qualies & may make the MD by the time of signing in. She will reach NY 2 days before the qualies. If she is in the qualies, she will have to be on her own until she gets into the MD. Most of you b...

I take your point on the foundation issue. I probably felt that it would make some sens to have a body where people could donate some funds as someone might be wanting to help out some players but, may not know how. Anyway, it really doesn't matter whether support is coming from an individual or fro...

Hi there, If anyone want to help Pooja, I could help you get across to her. I'm willing to do this for any player in India if you would like to support. I only hope their coaches & parents come up with proper planning & then look aroud for help. Its just that the investment should be right. ...

You are absolutely right Jay. Just sharing some thoughts..... Someone help Indian Sports…. It should be seen as a blessing in disguise that Delhi did not get to host the 2014 Asiad. It might be worthwhile for the people who are sitting in the helm of Indian sports to worry about Grass root developme...

Tips for Tennis Parents • Firstly, it is important that you don’t take over the role of a coach • Have faith in the coach & let him work on you...

Divij has an injury in his playing shoulder for which he is undergoing treatment & rehabilitation. He should be ok in a few more days time before which he would start playing again (hopefully in time for the DSCL). He infact played the last week of Satellites (masters) with pain killers. The Aus...

I have seen both the Uberoi sisters & they are wonderfully behaved kids. If Neha has done this, there must have been something terribly wrong. After all, she is human & I really appreciate if a girl (!) from an Indian background has actually shown her disappointment on Foreign soil in this m...

Edwin, you could probably talk to Mr. Manoj Vaidya, Development officer of Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association (MSLTA). He will guide you to academies in Mumbai. You can contact him at 2287-4806. Good Luck & enjoy your Tennis at Mumbai.

Sanam is the new ASIAN JUNIOR CHAMPION. He won a double by winnning the singles & doubles. I think he is the first Indian to win a double at the Asian Junior Championships. In singles, he beat the top seed Abdullah Makdas (Kuw) 64 62. In doubles, Sanam Singh / Jeevan bt. Elbert Sie (INA) / Shune...
