Tennis
by VENKATESWARAN VISWANATHAN on Aug 13, 2008 05:39 PM

The greatest ever tennis player India has produced is Ramanathan Krishnan. During his era there were players like Jaideep Mukherjee, Premjit Lal and Mr Naresh Kumar.
The next generation gave India Vijay Amrithraj. Mr. Leander Paes is no where near any of these players. He has contributed nothing towards improvement of indian tennis. He has only done politics and has had regular fights with Mahesh Bhupati who is no doubt a much better doubles player than Paes. Yes Sania has shown by example with limited facilies for playing tennis in Hyderabad. Please praise sports persons who deserve and do not give undue credit. Atleast Leander has not done anything so great to make him a Icon of 61 . It is a shame if we do it.
