The aim is now to be in top 50: Prajnesh Gunneswaran

TIL Desk Sports/ On a high after a successful season, India’s number one singles tennis player Prajnesh Gunneswaran has set his goal of being in the top 50 in the coming year. Prajnesh won two Challenger titles this year and said that 2018 has been a good one.

“2018 has been my best season. I’m looking to have a better 2019. I have given myself a good platform to push and I hope that happens,” Prajnesh said on the sidelines of a TNTA event to honour past and present players from Tamil Nadu. The 29-year old is ranked 107 in the ATP rankings (as of December 24).

“I mean being inside the top 100, possibly if I do well there is a chance to be in the top 50 in the world. But I am more interested in making sure I improve enough to be able to compete in the Tour level, in the Tour events. “… And as long as I am inside the top 100, then I have done a decent job of keeping my ranking and my level. But the goal would ideally be to get around 50,” Prajnesh continued. Prajnesh felt he was getting better in playing attacking tennis.
