NEW DELHI: Emergence of a new men's singles hope in Somdev Devvarman and resurgence of an injury-ravaged Sania Mirza were the highlights of a memorable 2010 for Indian tennis, which ended with the promise of more success in the coming season.
The country can now look upon Somdev to be the sport's torchbearer in men's singles while the doubles scene also brightens up with the estranged pair of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi reuniting next year -- ending a nine-year separation on the ATP circuit.
Year-ender 2010 But if there was one star to be picked for the year, it has to be Somdev. The lad from Assam had a dream run, impressing with his gritty performances everywhere he competed.
Being in and out of the top-100 ranking, Somdev reached a career high of 94 this October and justified his growing stature at the international arena.
