In a letter to All India Tennis Association (AITA) on Olympic selection, Bopanna has made his choice of nominating his doubles partner on Saturday. Meanwhile, even after partnering the world number 1, he can't make it past the quarterfinals at the Ricoh Open, a tournament played on his favourite surface. All talk, no substance!

Leander had already played 3 Olympic Games with a medal even before this man turned pro! It is so shameful to see such a mediocre player deliberately blocking roads for a legend to represent his country in his record 7th Olympics. Let him go with Saketh. They will crash out in first couple of rounds. AITA now should manage a tripartite invitational quota for Leander with Divij Sharan or some other player and teach this Bopanna guy a lesson! Leander deserves to go to Olympics not only because he is a legend but also because he is performing as good as Bopanna on circuit. In fact better than him at times, at the age of 43!

So AITA should shoot down his proposal. for every other sport - the federations decide the team. why should tennis be any different. And Sania has conveniently forgotten that its leander who forged the partnership of sania and hingis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partha_SG 1 Posted June 10, 2016 #1760 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I am sure AITA will stop this non sense in the june 11th meeting. send sania bopanna in mixed doubles - thats fine.but men's doubles -it has to be bopanna n leander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
