Career
Anand Amritraj and his younger brothers, Vijay and Ashok, were among the first Indians to play in top-flight international tour tennis. In 1976, Anand and Vijay were semi-finalists in the Wimbledon men's doubles. Anand was part of the Indian team for 1974 Davis Cup, which advanced to the finals of the tournament and then forfeited the championship to South Africa as the Government of India decided to boycott the match in protest of South Africa's Apartheid policies, and again reached the final in 1987 against Sweden.
His son Stephen Amritraj is an American former professional tennis player who represented India.
He did his schooling from Don Bosco and graduated from Loyola College in Madras.
His daughter-in-law Alison Riske-Amritraj is also a top-50 player on the WTA Tour.
