Mentor hails DK Suresh’s talent after stunning Davis Cup performance | Tennis News
Chennai: Dhakshineswar Suresh has swiftly captured the spotlight in Indian tennis circles. In a twist few saw coming, the 25-year-old was drafted into India’s Davis Cup main squad from the reserves for the tie against Switzerland, a bold move by captain Rohit Rajpal that paid off. Any doubts were put to rest when world No. 626 Suresh, on his debut, stunned Jerome Kym – ranked 471 places above him. “DK (Suresh) is a part of an incredibly good system and environment. He has been playing in high-pressure matches for the past few years and that is why he looked as comfortable as he did out there (Davis Cup). It has been a long time coming because we have known his talent for a long time. Credit to him for the work he has put in. He is just getting started and I will say with 100 per cent confidence that the best is yet to come and there is no question about it,” his mentor Somdev told TOI. “Take a look at his strengths – hitting the ball big, serving huge, and being intimidating to play against. These are the things that he should focus on.”
