Kriish Tyagi, a promising tennis player from Bengaluru, has taken a significant step in his career by moving to the United States to study and play at Texas A&M University. At just 19 years old, he has already established himself as India’s Junior No. 1, winning national championships across various age categories and achieving a Junior ITF world ranking of 33. The transition to college life has been challenging yet rewarding for Tyagi, who has learned to manage his own responsibilities, from meals to training. This newfound independence has not only enhanced his game but also his mental resilience. Recently, he showcased his skills at the Karnataka Open ATP Challenger, defeating higher-ranked players, including world No. 328 Hamish Stewart. Tyagi is currently pursuing a major in business and finance, aiming to balance his academic and athletic aspirations while preparing for a future in professional tennis.
