Write down this name because it can give a lot to talk about in the future. Nishesh Basavareddy has been in the spotlight this week by winning his first career match on the ATP Challenger Tour, doing so at the age of 18 in Chicago, against Steve Johnson. This son of Indian immigrants, a resident of Indiana since he was 8 years old, has reaped tremendous successes in lower categories, only overshadowed by serious knee injuries that forced him to undergo surgery up to three times, including two lateral meniscus tears.
He became number 5 in the world at the junior level and now he has enrolled in the university adventure, with the prestigious Stanford, where he has already achieved great results this year. With a very solid tennis backcourt and capable of executing any shot, supported by great mobility, Basavareddy wants to be noticed as a professional during the tournaments that he can play between university courses.
Nice win for the 18-year-old —
