As a junior, Nishesh Basavareddy made headlines in 2022 by clinching the US Open boys’ doubles title alongside Ozan Baris. His stellar performances earned him a career-high ITF Junior U18 ranking of World No. 5. He played college tennis at Stanford for two years before turning pro. Basavareddy, who is of Indian descent, considers Rajeev Ram as his idol. They both come from Carmel, Indiana.

Fast forward to 2024, Basavareddy made waves on the professional circuit.
