lee & hesh(their anglicised names)have reached the men' doubles final & will play the byran brothers in the final for the title. i saw lee & hesh's match 2day morning there were hardly 100 people(mostly of indian origin) seeing the match, which was played in one of the obscure courts. later li na beat the top seed woziniacki to become the first chinese player to reach a grand slam final, the match was seen by over 10,000 spectator,as it was played in the rod laver arena(centre court). china started playing tennis hardly 15 years ago & we have been at tennis for over 6 decades, with krishnans,amritrajs,paes,lal,mukherjee,bhupathi etc, & in all these years apart from ramanathan krishnan(reached semi finals of wimbledon) anyone has gone past the fourth round. why do we have to face this humiliation at the hands of the chinese, repeatedly?

Li Na's entry into the finals must be celebrated, not mourned. When did we face humiliation at Chinese hands in Tennis? Sania can still play well if she maintains her fitness, and may go a long way for 2 to 3 years. Jaideep Mukherjee reached the 4th round 4 times in his career. Vijay reached quarter-finals twice at Wimbledon.. Are you worried about Indian tennis, or humiliation by China? In our country we don't need anyone to humiliate us; we do it ourselves. Kalmadi's CWgames and now Dalmia's Eden Garden fiasco for the Cricket world-cup. Even Lee and Hesh messed up their careers by the long break-up. Easy, don't blame anyone.

sania was beaten in straight sets by some obscure chinese women player in the Asiad 2010.by the way the latest news is that today the other queen saina nehwal has been beaten in the 2nd round by some sato of japan in the korean open. saina it is reliably learnt recently was busy participating in ramp shows in bengaluru,delhi,& mumbai.
full Credit to lee-Hesh for reaching Final. Even though Tennis Double's event is Less ompetitive and less important than SINGLES, fact remains that it is Grand slam and what ever competiton.. it is from all over world. ouble Grand slam is equivalant of winning Cricket world Cup where 8-10 countries compete. If we can cheers 1983 " World CUP " we can certainly applaud lee-hesh for more than 10 G S Title. Lee and Hesh BY ALL Means are equal to Sachin who faces competition from 9 countries. Congrats to pair.

Bhupathi is not having Booming Serve like Becker or Samprass and not the best rturner of Serve like J Conors , Still he has won 12 Grand Slam title. The thing which seperate him for boys may be he plays according to his strength .he perfactly knows like Tendulkar his strong points and weakness

Dear, Again Hung parliament, and again new level corruption, Sharad Pawar, Sharad Yadav, Lalu, Rambilash, Jaylalita will join the coalition and scam after scam. Needed new party... with new people.
They are very selfish persons. playing for self and invidual. They had played together in last olimbic for india, but could not win even a bronze. They played for asian cup, they played for commonwelths matches but could not win the cup.
