These two people must be the most nautankibaaz atheletes of India.Wonder if they do all these natak to be in limelight.They keep fighting through media like the saas bahus of TV serials and now come together as if they are doing something great.I am sure they will be out in the first round.For God sake someone find out some sensible Tennis players to represent our country.
At last, here there is a great news for Indians.Paes & Bhupathi,the ultimate warriors of India,Fight as you done always and bring the Olympic GOLD for all of us.Best wishes.....
I wish both Paes and Bhupathi all the worst for Olympics. These two guys are a shame on Indian Sports. Both of them always keep personal issues and interests ahead of the nation. Hope both them get involved in some drugs case and get a life time ban from playing tennis.

Well said. 2 big show offs. Too much noise for too little. At least people like Vijay amrithraj and Ramnath Krishnan came upto semi finals in singles. They were ranked among the best.

Praveen,
Man, Tennis players have to be in the US if they are to improve their game. In the US they get good infrastructure, fine training and more exposure, whereas tennis is a neglected sport in this country.
Anyway, both of them are more patriotic than you since they have done something for the country, whereas, nether you nor me can boast of anything like that. Let us accept that fact instead of pointing fingers on these stars. They have their differences and it is bound to happen when it is a matter of two individuals.

Babuji, pls talk sense. What do you think tomorrow if US wants a great cricket team, will they train and practice in Australia. No, They will build their own quality infrastructure and produce a good time over a period of time. So India wants a good poool of tennis players, we need to have infrastructure.

Guu ji,
If you play tennis and want to become a professional player, then as of now, you have no other option but to seek for some good foreign coach and settle somewhere in the US. It is very easy to criticise others. But when it comes to you, you will be the first one to board the plane for the US! Tehre are many good things about our country. But sadly in certain other areas, we lack. And we lack very badly.
then ask the AITA and government to provide proper faciliteis and stadiums all over the country. A tennis rakcet (good one) cost anything above Rs. 30,000/- to 40,000/-. How many of Indians an afford this. Ask the government to promote sports . then ask those players to play for India in Olympics. Others who have spent their money, time and energy will play in tennis circuit and earn for themselves.
Except Olympics, Asian Games and a tournament or so, everywhere else it is individuals vs. individusl game not between countries. Babu
