Equation is just such a fantastic idea! It requires tremendous

How do you not include an Indian great who was part of a tennis trio known as ‘The A,B,C,
of tennis’ (Amritraj, Borg, Connors)? Who doesn’t know that famous epithet to the best
players in the world at one time? What can one say about a tennis player who beat the top
players of his (and any) generation at a time when Indian tennis sounded like an oxymoron?
Vijay Amritraj beat them with a smile and sophistication that saw him after his playing days
become a five-time president of the ATP. Vijay’s intelligence, wit and experience have made
him one of the most sought-after tennis ambassadors on the globe. His own foundation,
The Vijay Amritraj Foundation, is dedicated to ‘bring hope, help and healing to victims of
natural and manmade calamities in India'. |
