Indian Davis Cup Player and ATP Tennis Professional, Ramkumar Ramanandan, advances to the Atlantic Tire Tennis Championships in Cary, NC tomorrow.  

Ram is the first Indian player to reach an ATP world tour singles final since Somdev Devvarman. He achieved his highest singles ranking of 111 on 30 July 2018, and represents India in the Davis Cup.   He is from Chennai India and is the first Indian player from Somdev Devarrman to reach an ATP Final.
