Autograph - Ramesh Krishnan (Tennis)

Ramesh Krishnan was born into this illustrious tennis playing family. Coached first by his grandfather, and later by his father, he also won the National title at the age of 16 in 1977. Winning the junior titles at the French Open and the Wimbledon Championships in 1979 made him the No. 1 junior in the world for that year. He went on to a successful career as a professional tennis player for a decade and a half, with wins over several of the world’s top players and earned a career-high ranking of 23. He was a quarterfinalist at the Wimbledon and US Open Championships. 

Ramesh’s best moments on a tennis court came while representing India in Davis Cup, reaching the final in 1987, semi final in 1993 and quarter final in 1985. He also reached the quarter final in the doubles event at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. Since retiring in 1993, Ramesh started the KTC to nurture promising players. During this time, he served as the non-playing captain of the Indian Davis Cup Team for a few years. The Govt of India has honored him with the Arjuna Award (1981) and the Padma Shri (1998) for services rendered in the field of tennis.
