Persons who are blaming aita that aita could not develop players must mind one true fact first and should not compare tennis with cricket or football in India. In a poor country in India common parent can not afford to allow children to play Tennis as it is too much costly game in comparison with other games. Children can play cricket and football anywhere with little cost but to play tennis court is required and it is not available everywhere and one have to spend approx. 30000( Good quality racquet-12000,String reel-5000, ball 150/ pc,net-.5000, Shoe-.3000,Grip-1500/set,Bag-6000) and there will be to much recurring cost of ball, shoe and racquet. How much cricket and football players were developed by bcci or ifa? All are self made. Also as tennis is not a popular game in India due to cost factor there are fewer sponsors to conduct tournaments. These young tennis players are demanding sky high but what is their performance in International tennis? Did they win any atp tournament? What is their performance in Devis cup? What they have done for India? In ioc,fifa ,itf, there are head who are not a sports person. What are the problems of players in it? These shameless players did not concentrate their game to prove them first and demanding sky high. Our legends like Amritraj, Ramesh, and Paes proved themselves many times but never beg like these players. Aita took the right decision to throw them and should not change the decision.

The following sentence written in the above text is not correct. Correct it please.

If the crisis does not end, it would mean that barring Leander Paes [ Images ], none of the other top players -- Mahesh Bhupathi, Rohan Bopanna [ Images ], Somdev Devvarman, Yuki Bhambri [ Images ], Sanam Singh, Vishnu [ Images ] Vardhan, Divij Sharan and Saketh Myneni -- would not play the tie, beginning February 1.

Good sack all the players
As it is our rankings are very low so it would make no difference

Its high time that dictat governing bodies are taken up to task by players. The governing council has no experience in tennis yet, they will take calls. Good initiative in tennis, hope it happens in cricket as well where bosses have never picked up a bat in their life.
