I try to make sure that I get at least one hour of fitness in the morning and evening. Yoga is nice. I am reading, catching up on a lot of movies which I missed," said Vardhan about the current situation.Myneni, on the other hand, stressed on the importance of studies along with developing and improving your tennis as a player."College tennis in the United States helped me a lot. It played a significant role in my development as a person, I became independent when I moved out of the comfortable environment of home," said Myneni, who's ranked 180th (in Doubles) on the ATP Rankings.Further, into today's session, Sonachalam delved deep into the importance of "Long Term Development of a Tennis Player"."Your goal is to ensure that the tennis player sticks to the game for the rest of their life. You are giving them health, joy and happiness for the rest of their life which they can enjoy. Apart from this, you must have another goal, that is to work on producing top-level players," said Sonachalam."You may choose either of the goals, what you do in the initial stages is not different. You do the same things. Only as you go further with the player making a commitment, then things change. You specialize in tennis only after the age of 10. However, fundamental skills will remain the same throughout the lifetime of an athlete," underlined Sonachalam during his session.( With inputs from ANI )
