Saw Ramanathan Krishnan playing tennis in the news reels of Films Division. He beat the greats of those times ; persons like Roy Emerson and Rod Laver. He was an artist . He reached Wimbledon semifinals and passed on his artistry to the Junior who also reached Wimbledon quarter finals and played some great games for India in Davis Cup and even Olympics. I wonder if there is a father-son duo like these two anywhere. They were instrumental in making Madras as the tennis capital of India. Thanks for bringing them on the screen. I sincerely feel they largely remain unsung.
See Ramesh Krishnan reaction. So calm sitting with his Legend Father Ramanathan Krishnan smiling not at all outspoken showing deep respect to his legend father though he was also a great tennis player himself. Hats off for the interview.
There is a warmth in my heart whenever I encounter an interview with the Krishnans. Such a pleasure to listen to them. Krish is still India's greatest ever singles player and Ramesh was not far behind.

I was one of the luckly ballboy for Mr. Ramanathan Krishnan, Ramesh Krishnan, Anand and Vijay Armitaraj, Pramjit Lal, Mukeerji when they played in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, representing India in the Davis Cup and the Malaysian Open Lawn Tennis Championship in the late 60s. Ramesh was junior cham then. Thanks you madam for bringing me my old memories.
என்னுடைய இளமைக் காலங்களில் பெரிய கிருஷ்ணன் மிகப் பெரிய டென்னிஸ் வீரர். என் வாலிபத்தில் ரமேஷ் சிறந்த டென்னிஸ் வீரர். இருந்தாலும் என்னுடைய டென்னிஸ் கதாநாயகன் விஜய் அமிர்தராஜ். தன்னுடைய சமையல் எரிவாயூ நிறுவனத்தை மிக நேர்த்தியாக வாடிக்கையாளர்களுக்கு மதிப்பு கொடுத்து நடத்தினார் கிருஷ்ணன் என்றே அறிந்தேன். ஒரு சாதியை சேர்ந்தவர்களை “ தயிர் சாதம். உடலை வருத்தாமல் வாய்ச் சொல்லாலே வாழ்பவர்கள்” என்றெல்லாம் ஏளனம் செய்பவர்கள் நிறைய இருந்தபோது உடல் பயிற்சி, திறன், வளைந்து வளைந்து விளையாடவேண்டிய டென்னிஸ் விளையாட்டிலே மிக உயரத்துக்கு சென்று சர்வதேச விளையாட்டு வீரர்களாக திகழ்ந்த இருவரும் கதாநாயகர்கள் தான்!
Thank you for the refreshing interview with 2 of our 'forgotten' sporting legends of the past. It's so nice to see Mr.Ramanathan Krishnan in such good spirits, even at his age! However, I wish that you devoted more time to talk about their tennis careers, the legendary matches/ opponents they faced, etc. etc! Afterall, Ramanathan Krishnan was a 2-time Wimbledon semifinalist, no Indian player has gotten that far since! That would've really made the interview more complete.
Thanks to Ramanan, Mr. Krishnan’s brother in law TSR SUBRAMANIAN, I had the distinct privilege of watching Krishnandefeat Roy Emerson in the quarter finals of Wimbledon in 1962 .Ramanan had invited me to watch the match from Mr. KRISHNAN’s box. What a thrilling Experience and I remember well how Krishnan had put on a Master class that day. The evening culminated with a group of Indians led by Ramanan playing cards in the Indian YMCA Hostel in London. This was the evening prior to Krishnan ‘s match against Rod Laver. What stands out the great Krishnan, above all else is his utmost modesty, humility and simplicity in everything he did. He deserves to receive The country’s highest award for the glory and fame he brought to India. I hope the tennis fans in India, petition to the Govt of India that he be awarded BHARAT RATNA at the next chance they get to award. I will be very happy to join in. My name is S.N. Krishnamurthy and I am writing this from Oakville Canada. Ramanan used to refer as “ Natur.
I had the privilege of working with Mr Ramanathan Krishnan for a short time. I am from Delhi but worked for Krish TV in Madras. Very nice man and his wife Lalitha was a humble person. I will never forget those days. I live in Sydney, Australia now. God Bless the Krishnan Family. Regards, Ramesh Ramanathan from Sydney.
Still got the photo of Ramanathan krishnan and the great Australian Rod Laver which appeared in sports and pastime magazine. Oh those days of wooden rackets . Truly great Tennis player . My salute to both father and son . Every Indian should be proud of there achievements.
IT IS GREAT LISTENING TO TWO GREAT LEGENDS AND ARTISTS.WHAT A TREAT TO WATCH RAMESH IN US OPEN FOR ME JUST LIKE HIS FATHER SMOOTH EFFORTLLESS DELICATED SHOTS.I DID NOT WATCH HIS FATHER BUT HE CERTTAINLY REMINDED ME OF HIS PLAY.ICONS OF TENNIS

I also feel Ramanathan Krishnan should have been inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame. There is a picture of him playing and mention of his contributions to Indian tennis at the Tennis Hall of Fame, though. In my opinion Ramanathan's backhand was as good as or even surpassed that of Ken Rosewall! Ramesh Krishnan is an amazing player as well and winner of junior slams in Roland Garros, Wimbledon and Orange Bowl and had the potential to become a top 10 player. I have great admiration for both these legends.
Legends ! Started liking Indian tennis when I was a kid watching Ramesh Krishnan and Leander Paes beating the strong french team in Davis Cup playing in france.
Yester year favourite players in Indian tennis.. senior Krishnan has not changed much but the junior Ramesh ..... little difficult to identify...😜😜😜😜 Their drop shots were famous in those days,👏👏👏 India was on the world tennis map by this family followed by Amrithraj family.
Along with akbar khaleeli as his doubles partner in my college days Krishnan dominated inter collegiate tennis.then fame at inter university level,national level . And the incredible davis cup win against Brazil in south Calcutta
Ramanath Krishnan was my hero in my college days .I used to follow his achievements in Wimbledon and other major tournaments.I was very happy when he made it to the semifinals of Wimbledon in 1956. Semifinals of Wimbledon.
The only one semi final match he I mean Ramanath Krishnan against Australian Legend three times Champion Rod laver was the best our R.K. played. Made him cry almost with his beautiful lobs. Front back side the rear back. We enjoyed. Especially my dad who is now not alive.
Mr.RK was a distributor for caltex when they were all not nationalised. But friendly in obliging the Public. He carried all depending on their urgency. If he wanted to mint he could have. But very systematic. Only few are not money minded.My Regards to him his family.
My father was a tennis fan. I remember in the early fifties he showed us kids the news in Hindustan Times which was the only paper we used to get that a 13-14 year boy had defeated his father who himself was a state level player. That was just the beginning. Soon he won Wimbledon Juniors. Thereafter he was almost always in the news. I was studying in college when he came to my city and I took his and Akhtar Ali's autograph. I still have them. The great Ramnathan had hardly retired when the third generation Ramesh started hogging the sportspage headlines. Great players father and son. If only they had a potent serve! They would just lob the ball across the net.
Over seven decades back I watched the Davis Cup tie in Chennai between India and Mexico. The star player of Mexico was Osuna and for India Krish. Unfortunately, Krish lost to Osuna. One newspaper reported ' while the Mexican Ace ran here and thither the court the Indian Ace looked more like a spectator of his own game.' But Krish tamed Rod Laver in a Davis Cup tie played in Australia that too was in sraight sets. Krish never lost in Wimbledon to any player lower seeded to him. For a Davies Cup against USA our team went to the states. Nobody from our Embassy went to receive the players at the Airport. One Newspaper reported that Krish took control. The greatness of Krish was he was always on top of any such situation. During a Davis Cup tie played in Pune Krish was at the losing end. A spectator shouted from the stand ' Go back to Madras '. Krish quietly went near the stand from where the shout came and extended his racket to that spectator telling him to take it and play in place of him. This gentlemanly gesture of Krish came for great praise from the press. These are some of my rememberances of one of the greatest ever players produced by India. I can only think of Dhyanchand of hockey as another greatest player ever and none else in that era though they are not contemporaries. What a soft spoken gentleman who made singlehandedly the country proud in a game at a period which was least played and least popular so much so he had no opportunity of even practising with another player of his calibre. May God bless him with excellent health. I take pride to salute him through this comment section.
