Achievement

"The only question to ask yourself is, how much are you willing to sacrifice to achieve this success?."


- Larry Flynt



TOPIC OF THE DAY

‘Vijay Amritraj’

Amritraj was born in Chennai, India to Maggie Dhairyam and Robert Amritraj.[1] He and his brothers, Anand Amritraj and Ashok Amritraj, were among the first Indians to play in top-flight international tour tennis. In 1976, the brothers (Vijay and Anand) were semi-finalists in the Wimbledon men's doubles.

After playing his first grand prix event in 1970, Amritraj achieved his first significant success in singles in 1973 when he reached the quarter-final stage at two Grand Slam events. At Wimbledon he lost 5-7 in the fifth set to the eventual champion Jan Kodes and later that summer at the U.S. Open lost to tennis great Ken Rosewall after having beaten another legend, Rod Laver, two rounds earlie.
