I Never Disrespect Tennis Community, I Am Part Of It: Rohit Rajpal
India's non-playing Davis Cup captain Rohit Rajpal on Saturday clarified that his "shut-up" remark was meant for a few "agenda-driven" people consistently targeting him and was not directed at the country's tennis community as has been projected. In a free-wheeling interview with PTI, Rajpal said that people questioning his credentials as Davis Cup captain should do a bit of research and he is not someone who would cling to the position in the face of resistance from players. He asserted that it is not necessary that only an accomplished player can become a good coach and guarantee success of the national team. To drive his point, he said extremely successful players did not boast reputed names in their support staff.
