Whether he wins or not ,but his will to play is tremendous and I salute for him,
dont compapre or measure OUR PRIDE Paes.. he is outstanding and all time great sportsman of India. He is doing marvelously at age 40 as he was the Wimbledon champion at the age 16, atlanta bronze 96, . Remember the those moment where he carried his junior mate on his shoulder who won the davis cup match. He will be the patriot sportsman India never seen....
For Mr. Ahujas sake we should all wait till the final result to prove him what Leander Paes is.. He is not ordinary individual.. Surely all his critics will realise this sooner than later..

Mr Johar,I would have appreciated your above comments had you praised Sania and her Chinese partner's win the women doubles event of this same tournament, whereby they reached the semi-finals. In Sania's case netizens called her names as"Paki","traitor",and even more horrible names not fit to be written. There cannot be two standards for the same game.
We are going ga-ga over Paes's victory and congratulating him. Spare a thought for his partner Stepanek, who is the "sutradhar" of their victory. Stepanek has a very potent serve,and repeatedly won his service games,whereas Paes was good at the net killing the opponents serve. However my query is what is Paes achievement in the men's singles field,here Som Dev Burman is a better player than him. Infact in the Paes- Stepanek duo Stepanek's contribution in the duo's victory is over 60%. No one remembers who were the doubles champions,it is the singles champion who is remembered,and gets 10 times as prize money than the doubles duo.

My frirnd dont be A TYPICAL INDIAN critic. For GODS SAKE GET A LIFE AND START APPRECIATING A TRUE LEGEND, LEANDER PAES.HE is all time great and argubaly one of 5 top doubles player in the history of Tennis Globally. Go to his profile and then you will realise the facts
He is the undisputed Indian champion. Though not gifted with a big serve he used all his experience to beat the Bryan brothers. Those delicate slices were a joy to watch. Well Done Paes!! Good luck for the final. Hope you win it!!! Every time Paes wins I feel good-- its also fun to watch Bhupati and Bopanna lose.
