In this episode, I travelled to India to meet my good friend and professional Indian tennis player, Sharmada Balu. I met her in Gurugram, India where she was playing a Women's ITF35 tournament and got to play and interview her before she had to leave to her next tournament and I go to the Delhi Open.

Sharmada has a rich story filled with ups and downs, twists and turns as she navigates the professional tennis landscape AND life for a few years without tennis. She is one of the most genuine, exciting, and nicest people I know and its a honor to have her as a guest. She talks about her rise in her tennis career, hitting the tour at 17 years old, her nasty injury that took her away from the game, the break she took for the last few years before returning to the professional circuit and more!

Huge pleasure to have you on the pod, Sharmada! Cheers!
