he won grand slams for him... not for the country... if he was keen on playing for the country, he would keep the personal differences aside and team with Leander..!!
If this was China or the Middle East, he would have been gone... either he wont hold his raquet or he would have been out of the country!
Yeah! people might argue that a player has the choice to choose his partner.. but, doing such things when the hopes of the country to win an Olympics medal is depending on you, is really bad... no patriotism and love towards the country! Just cos of ure ego, u are sacrificing the interests of the country!
Ok. Agreed... Choose who ever u want and come back with no medals..!!
Since the Govt can do nothing abt these two players, at least they should not consider these players for Arjuna/Khel Ratna/Padam awards etc...They dont deserve it.... only the players who play for the country deserve these awards.. not these egoistic pr*cks...!
Leander has been a national hero for years, we all should respect that. He has always given more than 100% in whenever he played in davis cup. Simply put, he is arguably, the best indian sportman, ever.
Mahesh, has done great job for india too. He has given some memorable performances over the year. No one can take that away from him.
But, we need to look at it as it is. age and attrition has kicked in, they are old now, and they do not want to leave their places. Time has come for India to find out others, find some young players. Every great things come to at end and sadly lee-hesh has reached theirs too.
out of 100 crore people these two are the only players available??? In india we are giving too much importance to the indvidual player and not for the game
both of this gadha we know are not going to bring any medal , they are just trying to get media attention . and for mahesh bhupathi why is he so giving importance to himself as if he is pete sampras. till now mahesh bhupathi has now win any tournament or medal as for leander paes he won bronze medal in olympic against andre agassi
This bhupathy is a arrogant joker--so is his father-- i remember once the karnataka govt had offered a free site and his father had said that it wass not large enough to build his portico--and this joker still lives in Blr!!
