Taking it Slow with Somdev Devvarman!

from Taking it Slow · host Dwijendra & Vivek

Arjuna Awardee, Padma Shri Awardee, an amazing human being & a regular listener of the the Taking it Slow Pod (We will never stop flaunting it) joins us this week. In authentic Somdev fashion, he speaks about the sporting culture in India, what he's trying to do to improve it, coming to terms with his retirement, his memories on court and the unseen grind the Tennis players go through! He also speaks about the difference between playing for yourself in a Grandslam and playing for the country, winning the Gold while at it :) He talks about the myth of Tennis being a glamorous sport, about the locker room banter and recounts his close relationship with Andy Roddick. He tells us why he won't ever tweet on similar lines as the 'Celebs' on the Toolkit gate and why being authentic the only way he knows. We wind it up with him recounting his experiences facing Roger Federer(where we explore the possibility of a starting a support group for people manhandled by him on court) and Rafael Nadal in our segment Slow Takes! Listen in!
