A former Indian tennis player. He played on the India Davis Cup team for seven years beginning in 1947-53. He reached the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon men’s doubles championship (along with Jimmy Mehta) in 1947 and 1948 [1]and the US national doubles in 1947.Nicknamed ‘Tiny’, 86-year-old Sumant Misra carries the moniker like a crown on his 6 feet and 2 inches tall frame. Also called ‘the grandfather of Indian tennis’, Misra was initiated into the game by his father Sri L P Misra, then chief commissioner of Indian Railways. As a 14-year-old, his favourite turf was the Calcutta South Club. That’s where Misra met his contemporaries, Narendra Nath, Man Mohan and Dilip Bose. However, Misra was the only one to participate in the junior national championship, the national championship and national veteran championship. In return, all he got was a pat on the back from his boss at the Calcutta Port Trust. No appreciation from the government, let alone the Arjuna Award, no money. “Then, sports was seen as a hobby,” recalls Misra, who retired from Indian Aluminium as general coordination manager over two decades ago. He lives in New Delhi with his wife. His elder son Gaurav Misra is a former national tennis champion and director of the tennis centre at Columbia University, New York.[2]
