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.

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.
