From international tournament wins to local court training, my sessions focus on the technical discipline and mental toughness needed to compete at a high level.

This was a special moment for me, capturing my first WTA 125 win on grass. My coaching is built on experiences like this, where adapting my footwork and strategy to a new surface was key to winning.

Becoming India's No. 1 women's tennis player was a milestone that I am incredibly grateful for. It was a result of years of dedication, and it's this level of focus and commitment I bring to my coaching sessions.

I believe in giving back to the next generation of Indian tennis. Here, I'm talking to young players at the PBI Tennis Academy about the importance of mental toughness, sharing techniques like meditation and visualization that I use on tour.

The grind never stops, even when traveling for tournaments. This was a footwork and agility drill session in the Dominican Republic. Explosive movement is fundamental in tennis, and it's something we will work on extensively.

That feeling of winning a title after a tough week of competition. This was after securing the SoCal Pro Series singles title. I teach my students how to build the resilience needed to fight through long tournaments and come out on top.

Net play can win matches. This is a clip of me drilling volleys to sharpen my reflexes and technique at the net. In our sessions, we'll focus on developing quick hands and confident net strategy for both singles and doubles.

The mental side of tennis is just as important as the physical. This moment captures the focus and intensity required during a high-pressure point. I help players develop the mental fortitude to stay strong and play their best when it matters most.

The right equipment is crucial for performance. I personally use the Yonex Ezone 98 racket with Polytour Pro strings for a balance of power and control. I can provide expert guidance to help you select the perfect racket and string setup for your game.

About Featured

When we step onto the court at PBI Academy, we go beyond simple rallies. I focus on building the same muscle memory and mental framework I use on the pro circuit, whether that means breaking down your grip for consistent topspin or applying visualization techniques to manage match pressure. You get a training style rooted in real tournament experience, designed to help you think like a pro rather than just hitting like one.
