“There isn’t a player from India in the top 200 [in singles]. There are things to get taught. Björn and I are hoping to assist with cross-country promotions so that our juniors can play there and their juniors can come here. I’m talking to Bjørn about those types of things. Perhaps we will succeed in pulling it off. It is going to good for both,” Amritraj said.
