India National Thread

No issues with me...We Indians never improve from mistakes. So let it be...Anyways there is no chances for medals even if Paes/ Rohan plays so It doesn't hurt me who goes and plays. I just wanted to say lets go ahead and see other things. But we Indians love to carry the legacy history and get hit and then cry foul and say dint happen. see the other countries take risk and see the results. We don't take risk and we are hit.

 

Please note :- I am not against any Indian players. I have seen the dedication of all players towards the country in their earnest ways. So lets stop this topic here and move ahead...

Tokyo - 2020

Go India Go

What a big unnecessary shit! 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!

This mediocre player is not blocking anyone's road to Olympics but legend is dependent on the mediocre player to reach Olympics. If you remember, the legend created such a big fuss at last Olympic demanding to be paired with the same mediocre player. Also, Leander is not performing at the same level as Bopanna on circuit. If that was the case, Leander would not have been 30 places behind Bopanna. 

 

Leander has to share the blame for the way Indian tennis is divided in camps. Paes and Bhupathi are tremendous players who have always played better representing India (compared to ATP circuit) but their ego has taken its toll on the sport as well. Paes/Bhupathi along with their fathers made such a farce in last Olympics. The way both camps treated each other and Sania Mirza was really sad. 

 

Bopanna knows that he has to partner Paes but he is just taking a leaf out of Paes' handbook and is ensuring that he gets to partner Hingis and not Paes. (IMHO for Mixed Doubles, Mirza should have complete freedom to chose her partner. She has earned it).

sorry to say that the two situations are not the same. in 2012 leander was the top ranked indian player in MD and he wanted to form the bets team by teaming up with bopanna or bhupathi who were the next best players.how is that an unfair demand? it was they who had ganged up against him to prevent india from fielding its best possible MD team. the result was for all to see. so its completely incorrect to blame paes for this fiasco. i will agree AITA messed up the situation last time by using sania as a bait for paes to give up his claim on bopanna for MD. and the difference in ranking is due to paes' injuries also -its not as if bopanna is setting the circuit on fire. and if you consider rankings -how come saketh is preferred over leander? nobody should have complete freedom - personal choice cannot trump national interest. sania can play with whoever she wants in the circuit. In the olympics - it has to be in consultation over AITA

We can have fans of legends, but when we talk about current men's doubles, Rohan currently is ranked 10 and he has the right to choose his partner as per the rules, it's as simple as that, similarly Mirza is World No. 1 and has the right to choose her partner, what is the fuss all about? I have a simple question why is Leander not even near top 10 in rankings, he knew the Olympics is scheduled this year and the Men's Doubles ranking would matter?

it was due to his poor form but also due to his injuries due to which he had to skip tournaments. but he has shown that he is not finished by winning the XD at the French Open. Rankings once had Serena near 100 after a long injury lay off - did that mean she suddenly became that poor a player? rankings have to be taken in context. like I said - we are choosing partners for the national team for the Olympics - not for a ball room dance that friendships business interests and camps will trump national interest.

So let's wait and let AITA decide on it, anyway with Sania there is a genuine problem with both being forehand players, unlike Hingis who has a killer back-hand. Let's move ahead, big week, lots to discuss.

 

Just for a start what about our mid-field today without Sardar against the German mid-field? Would like to hear from you guys on this topic.

    • RETURN BACK LOST LOVER BACK SPELLS +27635475159  BREAK-UP SPELLS, BIND US LOVE SPELLS, ONLINE LOVE SPELLS CASTER, MARRIAGE SPELLS, DIVORCE SPELLS,  My Return Lost Lover spell works with manipulation but without false emotion, so you have no concern that your returned lover will slowly or suddenly want to leave again. All emotions resulting in their return are genuine and based on the feelings you once had for each other in times that were free from the problems which eventually arose. The magic my Return Lost Lover spell evokes simply triggers these genuine memories of times past and allows disagreements and perceived incompatibilities to be seen as mere temporary problems that should have been weathered rather than forcing a retreat. It allows your lover to view you as a person, rather than judge irrelevant circumstances which marred the relationship and give them the opportunity to see that, even at the time, they could have taken an alternative path which would have led to bonds being made stronger rather than broken. Your broken heart will be mended as their love envelops you once again, and all emotional wounds will be healed. The constant ache in your body that cries out for their return will be silenced. All scars and bitterness will be healed as this spell works its magic to repair the broken relationship. When choosing the Return Lost Lover spell think critically about the one who is gone. If you are certain they are the right person for you, that your passions were not colored by rose-tinted spectacles, and it truly was circumstance rather than incompatibility which caused the original split, then use it with joy in your heart and know that this magic will restore your love enabling you to start anew. *Making Up Spells This spell will make things smooth and help you work it out. If you’ve had an argument with someone, or you’re just not getting along very well with them and you’d like favorable circumstances in which to makeup, this might be just another spell that may help you! After casting this spell the first thing most people notice is numerous “coincidences” that help things smooth and create just the right atmosphere to make up. It helps to make both of you more willing to listen and talk things through and work things out in a constructive way! *Breaking Up With You This spell creates the best circumstances for you to break up with someone! If you really want to break up with someone, but you’re not quite sure what to say or how to go about doing it, this might be just the spell you’re looking for! This spell has a great way of creating the best circumstances for breaking up with someone under the best conditions. After casting this spell, the first thing most people notice a lot of little “coincidences” that create just the right conditions to make your break up as easy as possible!

    • In the worst case scenario for us, the conditions will be equal for everyone - something like in Beijing 2022. If the competition were held in Igls, Austria would have a huge advantage.
    • Yeah, but what I mean is: the sliding sports are by far the best sports for a home nation to vastly improve their medal chances, so make sure that track is done before anything else, because that will actually improve the medal chances..
    • yeah, to me was the biggest surprise of the 5. Maybe because of Borat movies, I was expecting something different, ended up going from "why would you go to Kazakhstan?" to "why didn't you go there sooner?" very quick. Most underrated country i've ever visited 
    • The track in Cortina has a future but it needs to be used well: apply for a place in the World Cup calendar, to organize World Championships, etc. Encourage other countries to train there. Maybe open the track to tourists for recreational ride during some time: some tracks in Germany do this or La Plagne in France. Cortina has a good location: it`s a well-known resort with a large accommodation and restaurant base. Cesana was a much worse place - the venue for the 2006 Olympic Games in luge and bob sports. There was no infrastructure around there + the area had no tradition in these sports.
