I seriously hope Leander Paes graciously retire from tennis before 2020 because I want Purav/ Divj to spearhead the doubles mantle. I think by Austarlian open 2017 they should be regular in ATP Tour and be among top 50 at least by then. Rohan should also find a different partner

Talking of new revolution in Indian sports all the world federation will take to India because of huge crowd and money earning chances. So don't worry of sponsors going away from sports. Archery are on the verge of their own league and soon we would have many following them. Football is moving in right direction as well and hope we get benefitted in 2-3 years time with the class coming into the mass following league.

Which is why Rio is so important for us...we've had so many positives...our athletes have always done their bit with the limited resources that they have....

Now slowly were moving to a position where others are looking to come in, support and contribute...

the media has given this contingent its best build-up and coverage yet - though a lot more needs to be done....

Athletes have received funds for training...

Lots of positives to taker forward.....Benefits would only come 4 to 5 years down the line.....

PPl need to understand that this is sports.....its quite fragile....

You need to do the right thing, take the right steps for years to get satisfactory results....

whereas one small, rash mistake could undo everything
