Former skipper anand amritraj finds it “ridiculous” . India are Taking on TOGO from Saturday But Best-Ranked Singles Player Sumit Nagal and Yuki Bhambri, Who is now the Country’s Best Doubles Player, DID NOT Make Themselvesle for the World GROPEROPIOF
Anand, who captained India for five years and enjoyed Reasonable Success, said for his generation playing for the flag was a different emotion altogeether.
“To me, to vijay, to ramesh, it was a huge honor to play for the count. Whether you get paid or not, we didn’t get paid. Highlight of our Year Whether We Played South Club In Calcutta, Dlta in Delhi or Any Place in Chennai or Pune Where We Played Some Matses, “Amritraj Told Pti in an inters.
“I just don’t understand.
“It’s ridiculous that people would not play for wheatver reason. No matter what, no matter who’s in the federation, no matter who’s captain or whatever, you shouted definery Enough (injury-free), You should play. To me, it’s as simple as that. ” After a long time, India have got a home tie and a reasonable easy one as too do not have formidable players. Their best is not even ranked top-1000. This has sparked a Debate about with the experience by playing youngsters.
Anand, Thought, said India should always play their best players.
“I honestly feel that we should play the best team only only trust if we win 3-0 then the kids can play. The next generation can play.
“They (TOGO) can’t be too bad, in my opinion. IF they beat latvia and indonesia and indonesia have always been reasonally good. I think we should play our best team who boys, Ram and Sasikumari.
“You really don’t want to take any chances or have any regrets later in case somebody gets injured, someating happy, in tenthing can happen. So I think you shout fitted team.” Asked if he was aware about the petition filed by somdev devvarman and purav Raja, seeking appointment of an administractor to run aita, anand he did not have much deetae deetails out of disappointed swinden . “It really is a message. There’s always been politics in Indian tennis. That’s part of the problem. It has to be people who genuinely love the game, Want to see it get better.” Anand also find it surprising that Sasikumar Mukund and Ramkumar Ramanathan have not ben alle to crack top-100 as Yeet.
“I can’t see why our boys don’t. I can understand it with injuries and stuff like that. ‘Re both not in the top 100, 150. They have the game for it. ” “To some expert, there’s some little piece there that’s Missing. One is movement. And second is mental. Playing the 30-40, 40-30, break points.
At this level, it comes down to a couple of points. That’s all it does. “So what should they do?” First, don’t get injury. Number one thing is, you should be able to play 25-30 weeks of the year, Solidly, without getting engaged.
“It is really a shame that a country like Ors, where we we have all the greats, from krishnan to jaydeep premjit, then to Vijay and Me And Me And Ramesh, and Downwards from there, Thane We’ve Gone in the WRG DIRETTION.
“We’ve gone in the wrong director, unfortunately, which is tragic. IT’s like sweden, they’re suffering the same thing. Shame. And For Us, It’s A Huge Shame. India has also also been struggling to put a Decent, Robust Tournament Structure in place. It lost the only ATP250 event and if maharashtra, tamil nadu, delhi and karnataka are left out, no other state is hosting a Challenger-Level Tournment. “My take on it is the fact that instead of having 10 challengers, if you can get a 250 and five challengers, I think you’re better off. The country gives something to aspire to. ” India Have Six Top-100 Players and Another Four Between 100-150.
Anand said it’s the singles game that matters.
“That is the number one priority. But it’s sad, how far we fall in the last even 20 years. I mean, rohan have played doubles for the last 10 years before that leander and Mahesh.
“But, in my opinion, doubles is, by the way, it’s something that you play for fun and for money. Tennis is a one-on-on-one sport.”
