‘ATP not ensuring level-playing field for Asians’

It has become expensive for many of us to even play in Europe or US: Vishnuvardhan

At 34, Davis Cupper J. Vishnuvardhan believes he still has it in him to make it big in doubles and not surprisingly is training hard with another Hyderabadi and Davis Cupper Saketh Myneni. The 6’2” tennis player says that the ATP’s fresh guidelines to deduct ranking points from August 9 even if someone has played in any tournament or not in the last one year is not fair. “This will deny us a huge advantage over players from Europe and the US. Definitely, the ATP is not ensuring a level-playing field for the Asian players and neglecting their interests,” he said in a chat with The Hindu.
