Born into a family that practically breathes tennis, I spent my early childhood days huddled together with my loved ones, watching the electrifying rallies of the legendary Rafael Nadal. Such a unique experience forged a lifelong love for the sport in me. Before joining EssentiallySports, I honed my skills while working for a regional website, covering a variety of sports. Now, at ES, I have had the opportunity to combine my passion for tennis with the skills that I gained from my previous job. My analysis goes beyond the scoreboards, diving deep into the nuances of the game, dissecting strategies, and highlighting the human stories that make tennis more than just a sport. Throughout my time here, I have focused on covering the biggest tournaments, from ATP Masters to Grand Slams. Apart from tennis, exploring the latest tech gadgets is another one of my passions.

Being a die-hard fan of tennis and an ardent follower of Rafael Nadal, tennis has been a part of my life even before I ventured into sports journalism. If I have learned anything from the incredible career of the ?King of Clay?, it is to constantly enhance your skill sets, no matter at what stage you are in your career. This motivated me to complete an Executive Post Graduate Diploma in Sports Management while pursuing my career as a sports writer. At ES, I have written over 1600 articles, covering a wide range of topics: From on-court controversies to the personal exploits of the biggest tennis stars. Moreover, I particularly enjoy covering Grand Slams, where the best of the best battle it out for the biggest honors in tennis. Beyond covering tennis for ES, I am interested in reading about current affairs and traveling to exotic locations around the world.

Sees a New Twist as Former Pro Looks Beyond Numbers

- EssentiallySports

No title

Growing up, I was always drawn to tennis and would spend hours watching matches on TV. It's no surprise that I eventually pursued a career in sports journalism, with a focus on the racket sport.?As a tennis sportswriter for EssentiallySports, I've had the opportunity to cover some of the biggest tournaments. My articles are predominantly focused on covering important matches and events while also delving into the personal and professional lives of legends like Serena Williams. I also draw inspiration from players like Roger Federer, who demonstrate a commitment to excellence both on and off the court, and Billie Jean King, who fought for gender equality in sports and beyond.??Through my work, I hope to share my love for the sport and inspire others to appreciate the values and principles that it embodies. Apart from tennis, my other passion is fostering and finding loving homes for orphaned dogs and cats.
