I once made a mistake, but I was wrong about it.
You've posted this in another forum too, right?
Well at 18 I guess you must be just out of high school, right? How have you come here? Alone?
At 18 with no degree/diploma how do you expect anything better than labour jobs? You say you are a tennis star. Do you have any documents, honors etc to prove it.
Someone in the other thread of yours suggested you to try and approach clubs and see if you can get hired as a coach. IMO coaches etc are generally older people who have been in the tennis circuit for good while and have played at major leagues/matches etc.
You might have been a top ranked state level tennis player in India, but I think they would want to judge you from your performance here. You might have to first get into the tennis circuit here, play and win some recognized matches before you can think of making a career in that game.
Also remember, tennis is a far more popular game here than in India, and so produces more "good" players and will therefore generate stiffer competition.
In my view, at 18 you should consider developing your career and study. Go to college/university and get some good skill/education.
A good career in sports is a far more daunting task then getting education and earning a livelihood. In the former, you either the shoot for the stars, become one and enjoy life like one, but if you miss, and chances are higher of this happening, you will bite the dust.
