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). 

The legend is not dependent on any player. He is at rank high enough to get there. And any ranking can't decide how great he as a player is. Paes and Bopanna should be a team only because they are best placed Indian players on rankings. And Paes had asked to partner Bopanna only because he wanted to have next best ranked player.

 

Just a reminder to you Paes has won 4 grand slams recently compared to ZERO of Bopanna. He did not have a stable partner and some injuries costed him in rankings. You can not say he isn't playing as good as Bopanna on circuit only because he is ranked lower. He made Quarters at RG, so did Bopanna with his regular partner. He won title in Mixed, while Bopanna lost in second round itself. 

 

Yes and last time Paes was wrong so he is missing mixed doubles this year. All settles here.

He deserves to be in Men's Doubles more than any other player. Saketh Myneni over Leander, really? :lol:

Bopanna's partner Florin Mergea has decided not to continue their partnership at least for grass season just to play with his compatriot Horia Tecau ahead of Olympics. Bopanna should get some inspiration. Players from all other countries have have already planned things for Olympics and here we are yet to decide on who should play with whom.

Guys, chill !!!

 

Paes/Bopanna will go and Sania/Bopanna will go. The current storm created by Bopanna is just to ensure he gets Sania in mixed. He wants an assurance that Paes cant later re-open the XD debate after Wimbledon.

 

The MD entry has to be submitted within the next few days whereas the XD entry can be changed uptil about Aug 9. So, Bopanna doesnt want a situation where he agrees to play with Paes now and once MD entry is confirmed and he cant do anyhting, Paes turns around and starts shouting that he should be going in XD as well.

 

In effect, Bopanna is doing pretty much exactly what Leander did in 2012. In London, Paes used his top-10 ranking to essentially say - OK, I'll play with Vishnu and let Bopanna/Bhupathi play together provided Sania is mine. Rohan is now doing the same thing - using his top-10 ranking to say that I'll play with Paes provided Sania is mine.

 

Is is sad?? Of course...but the floodgates were opened in 2012 and they aren't closing now. All 3 players - Paes, Bhupathi, Bopanna - have all, in both London and Rio, just taken a stance which benefits THEM the most, given the power they held based on rankings. Nobody here is a saint !!!

 

And have to say, am sad to see the vitriol directed towards Bopanna on this forum by some commenters. Yes, he is not Paes. Yes, he is not an 18-time grand slam champion. But he is a good player, top-10 in the world at the moment, grand slam and year-end championships finalist. He deserves our respect. Just because a Sachin Tendulkar exists, doesn't mean a Ravindra Jadeja doesn't deserve respect.

So, whats the issue let Bopanna partner anyone and the legend can get there with some other person.

Guys besides the row kicked up by Bopanna aspect of tying up with saketh ..................... I was extremely happy with sainas match with Rachanok ...... she was so strong mentally ........ great to see saina back in form .....let us see how she does against wang yihan 

strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi

    • 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.
