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.

Good analysis which came true :yes.......giving you a well deserved reputation for this post

It's great to see India win against GB...Since GB is in full team strength and to have played 2 matches so well shows a good sign...

Nice to see India at the top of the table with all the best teams playing in the competition

Great Britain team played better than India... But goal scoring matters... Some where we are still not good with our midfield game.. Our defence need to scoop for passes to forward... Defence is really good

    • So, the gap between Shiffrin and Aicher in the overall WC standings is now 219 points.   The races left are: - DH x 3 - SG x 2 - GS x 2 - SL x 2   Could Aicher have a glimmer of a chance?    She'd obviously need to avoid DNFs, which have been an issue this year, but she could potentially lead the table after next week's races in Val di Fassa, provided there are no cancellations (the weather forecast is very good at the moment).  
    • Ricarda Haaser suffered a broken tibia in a DH crash on Saturday.
    • Last night, I had the privilege to see my first live curling matches.  The USA National Championships were just 1.5 hours away from where I live (not bad in a country the size of ours, and even more surprising since I live in an area where it rarely snows).  I got to visit the 'page final' (i.e. first playoff round), the highlight of which for me was Team Shuster vs. Team Stopera.  Team Stopera ended up winning by 1 point, but Shuster will be able to play one final match this morning to see if they can make it to the finals this afternoon (the winner of which will qualify to Worlds).  None of the current Olympians were there, having declined their spot in the tournament.   Got some free swag     These people would yell 'Peel! Peel! Peel' whever someone would peel a stone.   Got to see the measuring instrument in action.   And yes, Matt Hamilton and Colin Hufman had sleeveless jerseys on.
