Senior Tennis Correspondent on the US Sports desk

Supriyo Sarkar

Supriyo Sarkar is a Senior Tennis Correspondent on the US Sports desk at EssentiallySports, covering the ATP and WTA tours. His reporting runs from match analysis and player rivalries to what the sport's biggest names leave behind after they stop playing, including work on Serena Williams, Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert. One of his pieces broke down a post-retirement interview in which Serena's former coach described a rare moment of lost self-belief. An English Literature graduate, Supriyo moved into sports writing from academic writing and content leadership. He follows soccer as closely as tennis, which shapes how he reads pressure and rivalry across sports rather than inside one of them.
