‘Trip To India Made Me Pick Up Tennis Again', Says Nick Chappell, Doubles Winner Of SM Krishna Memorial Open
SM Krishna Memorial Open: Nick Chappell, who won the SM Krishna Memorial Open doubles title, with his doubles partner Grigory Lomakin, recalled his trip to India when he was thinking of quitting tennis in 2017 and said the perspective he got from his trip to the subcontinent made him pick up tennis again.
Chappell's journey has been one of resilience. In 2017, he reached a doubles ranking of 491, but subsequent struggles, coupled with stagnating singles results, made him pull the plug on tournaments in India and his tennis career.
"I was originally going to come to India for tournaments but then I decided I wanted to stop playing tennis. I pulled out but I still had the flight. So, I flew into Mumbai and met up with a friend for a couple days from tennis. And then I went to Udaipur for a few weeks where I met an old friend of a religion professor back home and they showed me around. Then I went to Rishikesh and stayed at a yoga ashram and then went to see the Taj Mahal," he said.
