There is no greater player than Paes that India has produced in the modern era. It is his commitment for Davis cup matches that stand out. wishing him more grand slam titles next year.
Leander is a role model not only in sport but for Indians in general. His never say die spirit along with his unmatched patriotism should serve as inspiration to all of us. Take a bow Leander, we slaute you!
We have seen too many fights on rediff over Federer and Nadal, while the achievements of Leander Paes have been ignored even by those who call themselves Tennis experts and Tennis lovers. There have been demands for conferring Bharat Ratna on Sachin Tendulkar, but Leander, whose exploits far surpass those of the little master, has no such recommendation, and nor has V Anand. It is time we recognised the contribution of this great hero, and declared him a National Treasure.

You r right. Paes and Anand deserve their place in the annals of indian sports history for the sheer impact they made in their respective fields. Paes's exploits in Davis Cup r truly incredible and his partnershi with Bhupathi is one of the success stories in Davis Cup.
