First: Norman Pritchard at the 1900 olympics in Paris. Second: Wrestling Bronze in Moscow 80 Third: Leander Paes Bronze in Atlanta, 1996. Fourth: Karnam Malleshwari in Sydney 2000 Fifth: Major Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore in Athens,2004. Paes is good after all.He lost to Andre Agassi in the Atlanta Semi Finals. His father Vece Paes, won the silver medal for Indian Hockey in Munich, 1972. The only Father-son duo to have done that for India.

Dude, Paes was far better than these guys during his golden days (in singles, that is). 34 is definitely not the right side of age to to play singles. Kudos to Lea and Hesh for putting in the effort!!..
from decades india is showing their pahtetic show in tennis but still now their is no improvement.they need a coach like the one shahrukh played in chakde.
