Quotes
Tony Roche
Former tennis player and coach
“I love coming here. And academies like Jaidip’s can put Indian tennis back on the right track. I see no reason why India cannot again produce top-class players like Jaidip, the Amritrajs, the Krishnans, Leander (Paes), Bhupathi (Mahesh) or Sania (Mirza). With India’s population and talent, I believe it can be done. The right kind of coaching and support is the need of the hour. I would love to help Indian tennis reach the height it deserves.”

“It is possible. They definitely have very big shoes to fill, but they have already shown what they are capable of. If they can take care of themselves and manage injuries, then anything is possible. But tennis can be tough. The longevity that the Big Three had showed would not be easy to match.”
