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.

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.

Federer Fanboy Makes Way for a Spanish Novak Djokovic Fan

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.
