i was talking about ramanathan krishnan being the only top athlete india have produced in a globally popular sport but he was ranked no 3 in the unofficial rankings and his highest ranking and best show in slams came before the era in the time when all the best players in the world turned pros rod laver for eg, not only missed 21 slams in a row bang before the start of the open era but also was not allowd to play in many slams in the open era coz he was a contracted pro he would have easily won more than 20 slams and unlike sampras - borg - federer, laver was a super genius in all of the four slams which is the reason why he is easily the goat meaning greatest of all time.
