an evening with ramanathan krishnan

It was also a well-known fact that Krishnan had turned his back on a lot of offers to turn professional. He deconstructs this puzzling decision: ” The great Jack Kramer, who was a proponent of the modern format which allowed amateurs and professionals to play together, came to me with an offer in 1959 — $15000 for three years. That was a huge amount. But my father and I had come to a spontaneous decision. We refused it. If you turned pro, then you wouldn’t be eligible to participate in the Davis Cup. That was a greater source of pride for us. It meant playing for the country. I had everything else I needed and I have absolutely no regrets about throwing away the offer.”

So cute! I know what my next party theme is going to be:-) gather all the iyerinis from my neighborhood and then have a "bring your own madissar to the the tennis court" party.
