Tennis Anyone?


Thanks to Sania Mirza, several Tennis Academies have sprung up across Hyderabad. The NVK Tennis Academy, run by S. Narendranath, former coach to Sania Mirza is one such club. This also happens to be the one closest to our house and where I signed my son up for lessons. Works out well for me, as I get to hit balls during his instruction time. Its been over 2 years since I played tennis and it took me a while to get used to the red clay courts. I found it harder to play in these red courts as compared to the green American ones. However, this is still way better than not playing any tennis and more fun than watching it on TV.

The youth of India really needs to get into playing sports and I hope role models like Sania Mirza take on a more active role in encouraging this and other sports.

Different Sports should be introduced be at school.Especially for girls.Schools should have good facilities because not a lot of people can afford to go for private coaching. I was lucky to get to play hockey, basketball and other sports at school.

I noticed the board for NVK academy on my way to the Novotel, but couldn't figure out where the academy was. Do you have any contact information for them?

The entrance to the academy is from the Kondapur road, opp. the new Maruti showroom and next to the huge Aparna apartment complex. I have Narendranath's phone number and can email it to you.
