Autograph - Ramanathan Krishnan (Tennis)

Ramanathan Krishnan is one of India’s most iconic sportsmen. Among the top 10 players in the world,he rose to as high as No.3 in 1959. Taught by his father, the late Mr. T. K. Ramanathan, he began his trailblazing career by winning the National title in 1953 at the age of 16, and was India’s top ranked player from 1953 to 1968. His semi final showing at the Wimbledon singles in 1960 and 1961 is still the best achievement by an Indian in a grand slam singles event. 

He was the leading member of the Davis Cup team for many years, taking India to the Davis Cup Finals for the first time in 1966. Later, he was the non playing captain of the Davis Cup team that reached the final in 1974. The Govt of India has honored him with the Arjuna award, Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan for his contribution in the field of tennis.
