Vijay Amritraj has said that no body would have believed a decade ago that India could have a tennis player like Sania in future who would be amongst the top 30 women's players in the world.
No one knows it better how tought it is to stay at the top in competitive tennis than Amritraj. Once Bud Collins had hailed Amritraj, Borg and Connors as the A, B, C of Tennis. He may not have played to his potential but Vijay carried Indian hopes in Davis Cup afloat for over a decade.
Twice he took India to the finals. His spirited game in Davis Cup speaks volumes about his commitment when playing for the nation. On several occasions he beat Borg, Connors, Nastase and the likes of other top players. And he was a crowd's favourite.
Amritraj feels that the sports scene is very bright in India with Vishwanathan Anand, Sania, Arjun Atwal, Narayan Karthikeyan and many other players in other spots.
