    Picking the Right Strings with Somdev Devvarman

    Somdev Devvarman, top-notch Indian tennis professional, humble & politically incorrect, and a generally all-round "good sense of humour" guy.

    In this episode of The Sidelines Podcast, Som talks about Wimbledon 2023 (change of guard ??), his personal life, fitness (why are we buzzed on step count ?!), coaching Gen-Z players, playing with Roger Federer, music (and meeting women), and tons of other interesting stuff.

    A no-nonsense, politically "no-fs" given conversation, and tons of laughter.
