SomDev is not a late developer. He has just taken his time before becoming a professional. And he more ready than most players. He is mentally and physically strong. And look at his early performances. He will not spend years grinding away on the futures and challengers. He is ready for the ATP tour.He has been beating top 100 players with ease and regularity. Its only a matter of time before he is in the top 100. You will be hearing more of him very soon. He is already out best singles player since Paes.

Cant blame the dude. He's got this typical "Indian" pressure of completing graduation and stuff :lol: Two time US College champ is no joke. I strongly believe that he'll break into top 100 within this year. Age is no barrier here. Vijay Amritraj , actually primed post 30. Thats how we indians are "made" He broke into the circuit a bit late. Cant blame the dude. He’s got this typical “Indian” pressure of completing graduation and stuff :lol:

If Somdev is able to break into the top 100 or top 50, then it would definitely be an inspiration for many others to take up the sport. That's what is most important. As for London 2012, our best bet remains the men's doubles. Hey Neil, let’s not be so skeptical.

If he is India's great hope and we have to rely on his patriotism and not much, i don't think Indian tennis is any better of than it ever was... the best thing i could take out of the post... "London is 4 years away" Seriously, Somdev? he is already 23… these days most guys are at or past their peak by that age.
