Ramkumar Ramanathan: I believe I can get into the top-100 and top-50
Ramkumar Ramanathan may have faced some criticism for his serve and volley attitude but the Indian has defended his strategy.
“When I was playing in U.S. last year, I was doing a lot of practice on serve and volley and I was using it in matches. I was building on that. I felt better on court. The more I played serve and volley on big points, I started to feel confident. It’s not bad for me. I am tall, I cover the court well, so why not?”
He added, “But you should do it at right moment. Staying back also is not a bad idea for me because I grew up on clay. It’s actually a mix up. It’s always good to have many patterns.”
He further said that his losses aren’t due to his game style. “This year I have chipped and charged more and I have tried that to take the pattern to hard and clay courts and sometimes I have lost the points because hard and clay are true bounce and on grass it can be low and much effective. But it’s all about practice and you need to be there with energy, that’s the key,” he said
Speaking about his 2019 season, he said, “I need to make a better plan. The Challengers rules are changing. I should start taking small breaks. Maybe play 25 tournaments instead of 35. Losing close matches is tough and when you a fresh, you can focus on those big points and moments better. Although playing tournaments is also good,” he said.
“I am right there, very close. I believe I can get into the top-100 and top-50, it’s just time. I am putting in the work and am focussed,”
