Tennis has been my passion since my childhood. My sheer love and enthusiasm for the racket sport has been a major influence in me wanting to build a career in sports journalism. Additionally, being a die-hard Real Madrid fan makes me more connected to my tennis idol-Rafael Nadal, who himself is a huge Los Blancos fan and a contender to become its next President. At EssentiallySports, I cover everything related to the off-court lives of the biggest tennis stars: Be it Serena Williams? adorable family or Rafa?s path towards tennis comeback. When I'm not writing about the 'King of Clay' or his rivals on the ATP Tour, I love to indulge in my love for soccer, either by playing with my friends or ardently watching the matches of the legendary Spanish soccer club. Also, being a gourmet, you'll frequently find me hone my culinary skills as well.

Watching the biggest sports events have been a part of my life right from my early childhood. Although I have grown up watching a variety of sports, including tennis, cricket, and esports, I have a special connection to tennis. Thus, when it came to building a career in sports journalism, I focused on the racket sport. At EssentiallySports, I have written more than 1700 articles and covered a different aspect of the tennis world in almost every piece. I started my professional career reporting on intriguing stories about varied American sports after earning a bachelor's degree in mass media and journalism. ES gave me the opportunity to solely focus on tennis and build my expertise in writing insightful articles about its biggest stars. I've lately been intrigued by how the 19-year-old Coco Gauff dominated the 2023 US Open. Beyond writing, I truly enjoy binge watching captivating nature documentaries, with a special emphasis on the works of the legendary David Attenborough.

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.

In a world where player rivalries dominate social media conversations, I am someone who prefers to enjoy the skills showcased on the court rather than be involved in feuds over the greatness of players. Right from my early childhood, I have been engrossed by the legendary rivalry between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. It turned me into a ?Fedal? fan and eventually, when I graduated from college, this fandom created an interest in covering their exploits on the court. Thus began my journey in sports journalism. Before joining EssentiallySports as a tennis writer, I worked for an up-and-coming sports website. Considering my immense passion for covering everything related to tennis, throughout my time at EssentiallySports, I have focused on writing about the biggest stars in the ATP and WTA Tour. Moreover, I specialize in writing perspective articles that offer a unique view into the different aspects of the sport. Apart from tennis, I also enjoy watching soccer and the GOAT battle between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. In my free time, you can find me listening to music or watching either tennis or soccer.

Mitali Dey is a Tennis writer and editor at EssentiallySports. Having grown up professionally competing in various disciplines from Table Tennis to Karate, sports have been second nature to her. Being an English major, her compelling need to write blends seamlessly with her fascination for tennis in her role at EssentiallySports. While writing, Mitali aspires to tell stories that animate words with the soul of sports. But come the editorial bit and she will level with the bird in Hawk-eye. As for who she roots for in tennis, she'll passionately defend Rafael Nadal as the G.O.A.T. and rue over his absences in the same breath. Every now and then, Mitali walks away to stress bake when the good old teapot can't do the trick. Away from the world of sports, she is also a passionate theatre practitioner with a penchant for improvising and an avid reader with an ever-growing (read: impossibly long) to-be-read pile.

My journey as a sports writer could not have been more hyperbolic. Growing up, I buried myself in books and could not play any sport I wanted. So, I channeled my passion towards watching them extensively and imitating the players. My Master?s degree in Applied Psychology helped me understand the dynamics and thought processes of athletes. I enjoy watching the interviews of my favorite athletes as much as I enjoy their games. Gaining athletes? perspectives helped me understand their gameplay better and why they chose a certain shot or made a specific decision. As an English literature and Journalism graduate, I tend to research extensively and store a lot of information that threatens to exhaust my memory. At ES, I have focused on writing elaborate perspectives, reporting interviews, controversial topics, and coresport news along with the occasional pop culture article. Movies, series, fiction, food, music, and painting are a few of the many things that keep my sanity in check. I highly anticipate current-generation tennis champions to spice the game up and create more on-court rivalries. I hope Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, Jannik Sinner, Taylor Fritz, and Carlos Alcaraz achieve their best and carve a place for themselves among the tennis legends.
