Ramesh Krishnan
Ramesh Krishnan as Davis Cup captain for India
Son of Ramanathan Krishnan, Ramesh was ranked no.1 in the junior circuit and won the junior title both at Wimbledon and the French Open in 1979, a year after he turned pro. His style was very similar to his father’s as he possessed an all-round game with deft touches and graceful strokes.
During his career, Ramesh won 8 singles titles and reached a high of 23rd in the world.
The year 1986 was the best in his career by far, as he won two titles, in Japan and Hong Kong. The Hong Kong triumph included wins over Jimmy Connors, Pat Cash and Andres Gomez.
Ramesh was a part of the 1987 Davis Cup team that reached the finals along with the Amritraj brothers.
He became the Davis Cup captain in 2007 and was awarded the Padma Shri by the Indian government in 1998.
