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.
These rebel players think they are too big to dictate terms. Its so funny that they comment on the players selected as inexperienced. How many grandslams or olympic medals or Davis cup semifinals did the so called 'experienced' players win in singles matches till now?

Well said Rehman. These players are worth very little in singles. These scum are not even inside the first 100 in international tennis.
They are given business class travel and these scum want first class travel. They are in it for the money and country comes last.
