HIS STORYFrom the courts
From the courts
of Bengaluru.
His tennis story began at four. After starting on the courts in Bengaluru, Aradhya progressed through the AITA age groups, reaching India U14 No.2 and later India U16 No.1. His first ITF junior singles title came in his home city in September 2023.
International competition has since taken him across Asia, Europe and Africa. The junior years brought titles in India and Mauritius, a singles final and doubles title on Spanish clay, and the Fenesta national U18 crown.
In 2026, a first J200 title in Kolkata was followed by a first ATP Challenger main draw in Bengaluru and a first men’s professional final in Hurghada. Those results mark the next stage of his development in professional tennis.
His training has included Sol Tennis Academy, Transform Tennis Academy and, from spring 2026, Rohan Bopanna Tennis Academy. In a May 2026 interview, he described working closely with head coach Dragan and named Roger Federer as his tennis idol.
His family has supported the demands of an international calendar. His father is a captain in the Merchant Navy; his mother left teaching to accompany him on tour. Aradhya attended Prakriya Green Wisdom School before moving to online study through Laurel Springs.
ON COMPETING
