\u201d It is a privilege to be the President of Tamil Nadu Tennis Association, which has been amongst the leading State Associations promoting Tennis in the country. My father Robert Amritraj was the Council Member of TNTA from 1972 to 1980. Today, it is a very special privilege to take this legacy forward. \u00a0\u00a0I also commend the outgoing administrators for their role in keeping up the promotion of the game during their tenure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am aware that expectations will be high.\u00a0 Tennis in the country needs a new fillip to improve the standard. I along with my team will do our best to give the game that much needed fillip.\u00a0 Concrete plans will be firmed up shortly.\u00a0 At this point I would like to request the support of all of you in all the endeavours of the Association. \u201c<\/p>\n
