WHAT: “How to Ace

this is where it all
started: “I was visiting
Wimbledon when I
was nine years old. My
father, Vijay Amritraj,
who was competing,
took me to the ‘A’
Locker Room (only the
top players in the world
are allowed here), and
I found myself sitting in
between Pete Sampras
and Boris Becker. At
that moment, I realised
this was what I wanted
to do.”
“I got my hair cut
by a random barber
while covering
Wimbledon for
television, in Doha.
Let’s just say he did
not do a good job!”
