NEW DELHI: Prakash Amritraj, who was once the country's highest-ranked singles player, has urged the Indian Davis Cup squad members to keep their egos aside and play as a unit when they take the field against Denmark on the grass courts of the Delhi Gymkhana Club (DGC) on March 4 and 5 here. Prakash, who is the son of Indian tennis legend Vijay Amritraj, said that "special things" will happen when the players put the country's interest first.
"It's important to realise that it's not about them, and that it's about something much greater than them and when one understands that, it allows the person to take the ego out, and that's when special things happen. They (players) are a part of history and a part of all the names on the walls that came before, giving them the opportunity to be there today. All of a sudden, you bring more out of yourself than you ever thought you had," Amritraj told the Davis Cup media.
