Looking back at the year 2016, Indian Davis Cupper Saketh Myneni says he is happy with the progress he has made in the last 8-9 months.
“I have made great progress during the last 8-9 months. I have worked really hard on my fitness over the last two years and it has gradually started to pay off,” says Saketh as he gears up for the Chennai Open, starting here at the SDAT Stadium from January 2.
“I feel good about the way things are going so I am working on the smaller things now. Things that will give my game an edge,” he added.
“I had a great year, starting with the Aussie Open. I had a wonderful hard court season as well. But unfortunately, injuries took a toll by the end of the tour. I have had a good off-season in November and I am eager to make a good start here in Chennai, then the Aussie Open,” he said.
Saketh revealed even before his sensational run through the US Open qualifiers and the eventual fall in the first round in five sets, he has been focussing on getting better at five-setters.
Yuki faces Cecchinato
Meanwhile, Yuki Bhambri and Sasi Kumar Mukund will face tricky opponents when the tournament begins with the qualifying rounds on Saturday.
Yuki found himself pitted against Italy’s Marco Cecchinato while Mukund against Argentina’s Nicolas Kicker. India has a third entry in the form of Prajnesh Gunneswaran, who faces off with Japan’s Hiroki Moriya.
