Ajay Gandhar is a tennis writer at EssentiallySports. He brings three years of experience covering a diverse range of sports, including the NFL and Olympics. A passionate tennis fan for over nine years, Ajay is now captivated by the sport's intensity, drama, and unpredictable nature. Inspired by Carlos Alcaraz's fearless "Mamba Mentality" and awestruck by Aryna Sabalenka's raw power, Ajay finds himself constantly drawn to the court. He admires Coco Gauff's resilient youth and respects Jannik Sinner's ice-cool precision under pressure. When he's not crafting compelling tennis narratives, Ajay can be found challenging himself on the badminton court or pushing his limits at the gym.
