Somdev hopes to break into top 100
Indian tennis ace Somdev Devvarman is confident of breaking into the top-100 soon after achieving his career-best singles ranking.
"I'm anticipating that (to be in the top-100) to happen sooner than later. Obviously, reaching a ranking of 124 is satisfying and does make me happy, but I have miles to go," Somdev told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
The 24-year-old said the weight of expectations can sometimes be difficult to live up to.
"People have lots of hopes on players and sometimes it can be very difficult to fulfil them," Somdev said.
On India's Davis Cup World Group tie against Russia to be played in Moscow next year, Somdev said he was looking to give his best considering India had made it to the elite 16-team World Group after a hiatus of 11 years.
"I'm really excited about faring well in this World Group tie in Moscow. I have been training well and I'm looking forward to giving my best and help my country across the first round hurdle," Somdev said.
