Top 10 Indian tennis players of all time

Rushmi Chakravarthi

Rushmi who turned professional in 2005, has won a mammoth ITF Women’s Circuit titles, a record for a female Indian tennis player.

Rushmi possesses a defensive-style of play, sometimes drawing flak for being overly defensive, with experts contending that she could have won more titles with a perfect mix of caution and aggression.

Rushmi has donned Indian colours at the 2002, 2006 and the 2010 Asian Games. Partnering Sania Mirza in the women’s doubles at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, Rushmi went on to win the bronze medal.

On a personal front her best moment while representing India was the haul of 4 medals that she achieved at the 2003 Afro-Asian Games, of which two were gold.
