'I Want To Commentate On An Indian Playing Singles On Centre Court At Wimbledon': Vijay Amritraj
JioStar Media Day: Indian tennis legend Vijay Amritraj has said his biggest aspiration for the country's tennis future is to witness an Indian singles player competing for the Wimbledon title, stressing that success in doubles alone cannot fulfil India's long-standing ambitions in the sport.
Amritraj reflected on the direction of Indian tennis while discussing the current crop of players, including Yuki Bhambri and Sriram Balaji. Asked whether Indian tennis today requires stronger role models or better players to carry the sport forward, the former Davis Cup stalwart pointed to the importance of producing elite singles competitors capable of challenging the world's best.
"Yuki Bhambri and Sriram Balaji are all very good doubles players, but that doesn't give you a chance to win Wimbledon or do well in Wimbledon or make the top 100 or the top 50 or the top 20 or put India in a Davis Cup final. That's the key here,” Amritraj told IANS during JioStar Media Day ahead of Wimbledon 2026.
