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.
