Dhakshineswar Suresh Builds Solo Path From College To Pro Tennis

Dhakshineswar Suresh is a tennis player from India who recently moved from college tennis to professional tournaments.

In college, he had teammates and a university program to support him.

As a professional, he often travels alone and must organize his training, health and schedule.

He says playing well once is not enough because players must perform consistently throughout a long season.

His strong Davis Cup performance against the Netherlands showed him that he can compete at a high level.

He is now working harder on fitness, rehabilitation and mental stability.

These efforts are important because he worries about injuries and must sometimes play tournaments in consecutive weeks.

Suresh wants to move from world number 367 into the top 250 by the end of the season.

His bigger dream is to become a top-50 player, which he knows will require continued hard work.
