1. The news that Paes & Martina Hingis have won the Aus open Doubles was nectar to the ears!
2. Paes has been consistent in winning the Slams ever since he lost the US Open finals along with Mahesh Bhupathi in 1997. He has been a US finalist on four occasions & has won Australian open three times. Paes has won total 55 doubles titles including 15 Grand Slams, Olympic bronze, Asian games gold, career slam in open era tennis, best singles ranking 73 and no 1 in doubles where players from almost all countries are there in a tight schedule and tough competition. He has an interesting Davis cup career also where he beat big names like Boetsch, Laconte, Ferreira, Ivanisevic & climbed up to Davis cup semifinal in 1993. He also beat world No 1 Sampras in singles. He has an ATP singles title also. Paes became only the second man (after Rod Laver) to win Wimbledon titles in three different decades. No other sportsperson of India has so many titles or achievement. This is his 15th Grand Slam which no Indian has achieved so far. Again, he has emulated Martina Navratilova by winning a Grand Slam after crossing 40 years, that too a second one!
3. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen Leander playing his heart out & giving more than 100% for India during Davis Cup ties. And the fact he is still playing top-notch doubles tennis at 41 shows his love & commitment for the game. If there is one contemporary sportsperson in India who is truly a Bharat Rathna, it i

Yes; He deserves a HONOUR. Leander is certainly ahead of Sachin, but do not have GODFATHER to push his case. Our awards are generally manipulated.
and most confused VIRAT for concentrating on game due to Bollywood presence in IPL? Really good news for sports field after virtual white wash in one day triangular series so other games than cricket we can achieve top slot is proved by leander paes and sania mirza so congractulations martina leander sania and finally AUSTRALIA for winning triangular series
just to add a bit, there are total 41 rows and column of guts in a tennis racquet it's a joy for all! do take a celebration break! please visit udaipur at mewar festival 2015!
