The legendary Trio which consists of Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic have been the pinnacle of their careers in which Serbian is leading at the moment as both Nadal and Federer who have won 20 Grand Slam each has missed so many competitions due to injury. In Olympics 2020, the only player who took part was Djokovic who was considered favorite to win the title but was eventually knocked out from the contest. Taking about Indian tennis loads of work needs to be done to uplift it at a grand stage as the federation is doing little to promote sport in the country.
There are very few tournaments which include ATP and Challenger Open which is organized every year in India and due to pandemics even those few have been converted into meager numbers. A Country is known in Tennis when they produce good singles players, not by doubles players, unfortunately, we have produced only doubles players of late and our focus on producing singles players should be our priority.
