Prakash Amritraj and the Tennis Channel agreed to a three-year extension of Amritraj’s contract. The new contract guarantees that Amritraj will stay at the network until 2023. He has been a regular on the Tennis Channel since 2016.

Prakash Amritraj is the host of Prakash Worldwide, where he travels around the world to talk to tennis players. He has worked as an in-match analyst in the studio and as a travel reporter at tennis events worldwide. His abundant energy and his excellent relationship with professional tennis players have earned him praise from the network’s viewers.

Amritraj led the University of Southern California to a national championship in 2002 as a freshman. He represented India in Davis up as its top-ranked player and reached a career-high singles ranking of world number 154 in 2009. He is the son of a legendary Indian tennis player, Vijay Amritraj.

It’s been a bad week for dads who coach tennis players. First, Caroline Garcia announced that she is firing her dad. A few days later, Sofia Kenin announced that she is splitting from her dad.

Dads have coached many top tennis players. But as players rise up in the ranking and start having success, they tend to look for professional coaches to take their game to the next level. Some fathers have stepped down themselves, seeing a need for someone else to step in.

I tried to explain to him as best I could. My father remains my father. There is always a lot of love. We lived such moments together. My parents made a lot of sacrifices. I can’t thank them enough. I’m sure there will be more great tennis moments in the future.

-Caroline Garcia

 Gabriel Urpi, who coached Flavia Pennetta and Arantxa Sanchez will take over as Garcia’s coach.

I wanted to let everyone know that after many years together I have decided to part ways with my father as my coach. This was not an easy decision for me as we shared many great moments together and had a lot of success. I will be forever grateful for my dad’s sacrifice and contributions towards getting me to where I am today. I am excited for what the future holds and look forward to putting together a new technical team in the coming weeks ahead. I can’t wait to get back on the court next week in Rome.

– Sofia Kenin

Kenin has not announced her coach yet. Kenin recently split with her management company Top Five and signed up with GSE Worldwide.
