Somdev Varman next bright spot in Indian Tennis

Indian Tennis badly needed one player in the Men's Singles arena and there comes this young boy Somdev Varman to prove how good a singles player he is. Indian tennis now can add another feather in its cap as Somdev Varman arrives.

Varman who hails from Assam, trained at the Britannia Amritraj Tennis Academy (BAT) before joining the National Tennis Academy (NTA) at Gurgaon. He was among the India's Davis cup team and had a couple of good matches.

Recently his wins against Carlos Moya , two time French Open winner and against Ivan Karlovic has raised a few eyebrows. He seems to have a different game compared to all our previous tennis players. The good thing about his game is his serve and volley which is quite unusual and he seems to be solid from the baseline. The interesting part about his game was the service.

I think the next bright spot in Indian Tennis has arrived in the form of Somdev Varman. I think others need to keep an eye on this player whom i believe can make India proud in Men's Singles after 3 decades.
