Year 2009 showing some promises for Indian tennis ... In singles rise of Somdev Devvarman, who will definitely enter in top-100 in next few months .. And Yuki Bhambri, who is also showing lots of promise after winning junior Australian Open 2009 title ... He is having game (need little work on his service motion to avoid back injury) to be inside top-50 on ATP tour in couple of years as he is only 17 yrs old ... Sanam Singh showing improvement in his game under UVa tennis coach Brian Boland and can be in mix in a yer or two ... Rohan Bopanna showing consistency in doubles and remain inside top-100 after injury hit year ... He helped India with Somi to be in world group of Davis Cup.

In doubles Leander had excellent 2009 as he won 2 grand slam titles, French Open and US Open, with his Czech partner Lukas Dlouhy ... Mahesh Bhupathi also won mixed doubles Australian Open title with Sania Mirza ... Harsh Mankad is also on verge of entering in top-100 doubles title, so if he get some lucky breaks then we can see him joining our other 3 on ATP tours doubles tournaments.

In ladies Sania Mirza showing despite her injury she is good enough to remain around top-50 WTA ranking ... For her this year brought lot of good memories ... After coming out of injury she won her first grand slam title in company of Mahesh and in July 09 she got engaged ... But still no woman player is showing any promises to join Sania ... Poojashree showing improvement but for her still long road to be inside top-250.
