  2. Aasif Karim of Kenya

    represented  Kenya  in both  lawn tennis (Davis Cup) as well as

    cricket(world cups,odis).

    When you say  tennis star,you mean he has played at the

    international level(ATP)  or  state  level   or city level. ?

  3. Syed Mohammad (S.M.) Hadi (b. August 12, 1899 - d. July 14, 1971, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India) was one of the most gifted pioneering athletes of India. He not only represented India in cricket and tennis, but was also proficient in field hockey, soccer, table tennis, chess, and polo. He was nicknamed "Rainbow Hadi" because of his expertise in these seven sports.

    As a tennis player Hadi burst on to the international scene while studying at Cambridge University where he studied at Peterhouse and worked hard to become a Cambridge Blue. He helped the Cambridge team score a series of victories against Oxford University and visiting American teams. He also earned university colors in field hockey, soccer, and table tennis.

    Denied the captaincy of the Cambridge team because he was an Indian, he vindicated his claim by representing India at the Davis Cup in 1924 and 1925. He also represented India at Wimbledon for five years and in 1926 reached the quarter finals in doubles. He was one of the first Indians to compete as a tennis player at the Olympics (1924 Summer Olympics).
