How did we get here?" Vijay Amritraj wasn't looking at a map or eying a landmark. The tennis legend was merely marking the steps to oblivion. Amritraj was trying to wrap his head around the fact that India only had one player in the top-250 of the ATP and WTA rankings - Sumit Nagal at No. 83. This has been the case for over 12 months for the men.
The 70-year-old pressed, "How come this isn't spoken about enough?" India has 10 doubles p layers in the top-150 of the individual doubles ranking, despite shrinking draw sizes. "No kid picks up a tennis racket to play doubles, you play for singles," Amritraj said.
