Mr.Mahesh Bhoopathi's announcement is totally inexplicable and, coming from one of the top players of the county, unpardonable! I was trying to analyse as to which of the following factors could have prompted him to adopt this attitude:
1. His enemity towards Leander Paes 2. His ego clash with the Indian Tennis Association 3. His fear of losing, if paired with Shikha Uberoi 4. His fondness for Ms.Sania Mirza 5. His greed for money (an excuse to pull out of the Asian Games to enable better preparation for Australian Open)
Whatever maybe the reason, he has proved, beyond doubt, that he is a selfish person who would go to any extent to satisfy his ego even if that means overlooking the National Interests! It must be a matter of shame to the Krishnans and Amritrajs that Mr.Mahesh Bhoopathy hails from their Home State, Tamil Nadu! To think that the indomitable national spirit which those illustrious predecessors displayed has not rubbed off onto Mr.Mahesh Bhoopathi is utterly disgusting, to say the least!
