07-March-2011

I started tennis when i was 7 years old in Bangalore, India. Later when we shifted to Tirupathi I improved my game under the coaching of Mr.P.G.Raju and started playing seriously. Following that we moved to Nigeria and under the new coach Mr.Sunday Igbinovia my game reached a new level now.

Two memorable days: the first day was when my racket strung broke for my shot and the second was when my racket itself broke.













My mother bought a new racket (Head Midplus) for me . Today (7th of March) I got 2 more new rackets (Wilson BLX, from USA) and I want to play with them in my next session.
My coach gave 3 days break as he is travelling and my next class is on 9th of March. I 'll be playing few tournaments across india in the coming April and May. I have three more weeks left to practice tennis before the tournaments.

I practice for two hours every day and my legs and hands pain so much that i can't even walk after my tennis class. But thank god due to my efforts on fitness (Skipping:1000/day, running on steps, jumping on steps and so on for 3 days a week) improved my fitness to withstand the physical needs during the practice sessions.

My serve improved a lot after coming here. I am also able to play long rallies and move around the court with ease.

Lot more to come from me. Keep reading. :-)
