Dhakshineswar Suresh celebrates his 4-0 Davis Cup record and prepares for the ATP Tour after completing his studies.
India's newest Davis Cup hero Dhakshineswar Suresh says his dream run for the country is "just the beginning" as he prepares to step into full-fledged competition on the ATP Tour after completing his studies at a U.S. university.
Pursuing communication studies at the Wake Forest University, the 25-year-old will complete his degree in May this year.
In just two ties since making his debut in September 2025, Dhakshineswar boasts an impressive 4-0 record, with three of those wins coming against the Netherlands in Bengaluru last weekend.
"It's a long way to go. It's just the beginning," said Dhakshineswar, who matched Leander Paes' feat of winning three matches in a single tie back in 2004 against Japan.
Following Dhakshineswar's superlative show, India edged the Netherlands 3-2 to progress to the second round of the Davis Cup Qualifiers, where they will meet Korea in September.
"I'll go back to the US to finish my studies, then come down in May and figure out my schedule. Once that's sorted, I'll start getting into the Tour and prepare for the next Davis Cup," he said.
