Pune : Indian Tennis Player Rutuja Bhosle Credits Family and Coaches for Success
Pune, 13th October 2023 : In a heartwarming journey of determination and dedication, Rutuja Bhosle, the gold medalist of the Indian Tennis Championships and the Asian Tennis Championships, shared her inspiring story at a recent public event in Pune.
Rituja revealed that her childhood dream had always been to pursue a career in tennis. However, life took an unexpected turn as she had to bid farewell to her tennis aspirations and travel to the United States for her education. It was during her time in America that a desire to excel in tennis rekindled within her. This passion led her to decide to return to India and pursue her tennis dreams once more.
This choice was not without its challenges, but Rutuja’s unwavering determination, proper guidance, and hard work paid off. She defied the odds and succeeded, ultimately winning the gold medal for her country. Reflecting on her achievements, Rutuja expressed her gratitude for the support that made her journey possible and her determination to focus on the upcoming Olympics.
Speaking at an event organized by the Pune Shramik Patrakar Sangh, Rutuja Bhosle credited her success to the guidance she received from her coaches and the support of her family, including her father Sambhaji Bhosle, mother Neeta Bhosle, and her husband, Ranji-level cricketer Swapnil Gugle.
She recalled a significant moment in her career, the mixed doubles match where she was chosen by Rohan Bopanna. Though they faced an initial setback, Rohan’s encouragement and guidance led them to victory, proudly raising the national anthem and tricolour abroad. The emotional significance of that moment was not lost on her.
Despite the physical challenges she faced, including playing three matches on the first day of the Asian Games, Rutuja’s relentless spirit earned her a bronze medal. Looking ahead, she is setting her sights on the upcoming Olympics, gearing up for rigorous preparation, diet control using the latest sports science techniques, and daily practice.
Addressing the question about strained relations between India and China affecting the players during her time in China, Rituja explained that, overall, the tensions did not have a significant impact on the players. She noted that the organizers in China were dedicated to the well-being of Indian players, providing them with the necessary support and care.
