Hard to understand...

What could have Paes achieved had he been playing solo? May be he could have climbed up to the 60th spot...or 50th? The grand slams he won after grouping with Bhupathi are the only worth mentionable achievements of his career apart from a bronze at Olympics, which has little value in the real (commercial) tennis. In fact, both went on to excel in the doubles even after breaking up, which again was largely because of their earlier experience as a doubles pair. Both have to be thankful to each other for whatever they have gain in tennis. Paes reminds of sour grapes by the way he has spoken today.
