Thank you - superb upload - very few interviews with world class players are this honest and forthcoming , very interesting. Impossible to forget the achievements of the father and son. Often saw and really enjoyed watching Ramesh play. Unique feel and giftedness with the ball - this story is beyond special.
ONE OF BEST INTERVVIWS I WATCHED.I WAS DYING TO SEE GREAT RAMMANATHAN KRISHNAN FATHER OF INDIAN TENNIS.I HAD GREAT MOMENTS WATCHING RAMESH KRISHNAN IN SCHNECTIDY AND US OPEN WATCHING HIM WAS A GEAT PLEASURE.THIS GEATEST FATHER AND SON WINNING TEAM
@@astrafalustre8259 Ramathan Krishnan was arguably the greatest Indian tennis player ever. No Indian has ever won as many singles titles (55 titles) or achieved as high world ranking (No.6) as him.
The great thing about both these players was that they relied on pure skill and technique to compensate for lack of power and strength which is normally a requirement at the highest level. At a time when tennis training and competitions were practically non existent in India ( TN was slightly better in that regard but defo not at the level of producing international players ) these two managed to give some of the best in the world a scare and occasionally even won against them . Their Wimbledon record is still the best of any Indian.
With due respect to the father-son duo for their incredible achievements, I wonder how they didn't maintain their physique poat retirement, given that tennis is such a demanding sport in terms of fitness levels and they were in top form during their prime in 20s and early 30s.
Father and son obviously love each other and have great respect for each other. Wonderful.
Thanks for very interesting clip! Great to watch!
Thank God. First time you chose this wonderful man for interview. Thanks for good interview.

Greatest Tennis star the country produced. His sportsmanship was much higher. What a gentleman!
Great player, with subtle touch.
Which one, father , son or both?

You could have shown a picture of Ramesh's grandfather.
Great to see the legends 😍
Great contribution to India 👍🙏
Great
Creepy host!
Mr Ramanatham would have been a good model besides tennis.
A family that serves the British and basically worked for them.
