A look at the results of our daily grind. These moments capture our players competing at AITA and ITF tournaments, representing India, and developing the grit required to win at the highest levels.
A proud moment for Indian tennis. I stand with our Asian Games silver medalists, Ramkumar Ramanathan and Saketh Myneni, after their hard-fought men's doubles final. This is the level of excellence we strive for at NTC.
This is where champions are forged. Here, I am personally guiding NTC player Anand Gupta through a high-intensity volley drill on our hard courts, focusing on reaction time and net play.
Celebrating a significant victory on the international stage. Our player Riya Bhatia proudly holds the doubles championship trophy at the ITF W15 Mysuru Open, a key milestone on the Women's World Tennis Tour.
A testament to our junior development program. NTC's Yashvardhan Singh showcases his double victory, securing both the Singles and Doubles titles at the Under-14 Championship Series in Gurugram.
Representing the nation is the ultimate honour. Here is the Indian Davis Cup team, which I had the privilege to lead as Captain and Coach, united before our historic tie against Pakistan in Islamabad.
A breakthrough moment for our player Maan Kesharwani. This graphic celebrates him earning his first maiden ATP point at the M15 tournament in Tehran, a critical step in his professional tennis journey.
We are a team, a family. This is a glimpse of our entire group of dedicated male and female players and coaches, standing together on our blue hard court, ready for another day of rigorous training.
The reward for relentless effort. NTC player Maan Kesharwani stands tall with his championship trophy after winning the AITA 2.5 Lacs Men's Singles title in Panchgani, Maharashtra.
About Featured
You are looking at the direct outcome of our rigorous six-day-a-week training regimen. Whether it is our junior squad dominating AITA circuits or our pros earning ATP points, every image here is a result of intense match simulation, tactical strategy sessions, and specific tennis fitness work conducted at R.K. Khanna Tennis Stadium. We do not just teach strokes; we build a competitive mindset necessary for the professional circuit.
Our training pathway is designed for players who are committed to competing. We operate out of R.K. Khanna Tennis Stadium in New Delhi, splitting training between synthetic hard courts and clay courts to ensure our athletes are prepared for every surface type.
Junior Development (U12-U18)
Our program focuses on AITA ranking targets. We run 2.5 to 3-hour sessions six days a week with a strict 4:1 player-to-coach ratio. This ensures every student receives detailed feedback on technique, footwork, and tactical decision-making during high-volume feeding drills.
Pro Circuit Training
For players aiming for the ITF and ATP levels, we implement a double-session structure totaling 5-6 hours of daily court time. This includes advanced sparring, gym access for injury prevention focusing on shoulder stability and explosive power, and periodized training blocks aligned with the international tournament calendar.
Direct Oversight
As Director and National Coach, I personally oversee court strategy and mechanical fine-tuning. We do not sugarcoat the effort required. Our players train to win, whether it is a state-level championship or an international ITF event. We focus on consistency and results, providing the framework for players to secure scholarships or transition into the professional ranks.
