From the publishers of THE HINDU Vol. 25 :: No. 16 :: Apr. 20 - 26, 2002 Home Contents COVER STORY/LEANDER PAES The Heroic Outsider NIRMAL SHEKAR ON a windy, cold February evening in a picturesque coastal resort town in a tiny island at the feet of the Korean peninsula over three years ago, Leander Paes shut himself from the world in his hotel room overlooking the sea. Angry waves were lashing against a craggy rock formation that stood like an impenetrable wall of some medieval fortress about 200 metres away from his room, but the primal beauty of nature's frenzy might have hardly made an impression on Paes that evening. S. SUBRAMANIUM It was not the best of days for Indian tennis at Seogwipo City in Cheju, with the visiting Davis Cup team just having lost a close tie against the gritty Koreans in near-freezing temperatures, against the backdrop of a snow-topped, spent volcano that stood like some grotesque, huge piece of Danish pastry. While the rest of the team members did their best - like professional sportsmen learn to do - to forget all about the loss and get on with their routine, Paes stayed all alone in his room, in self-imposed solitary confinement. "He was devastated. I have never seen him like that. He was inconsolable. He cried and he cried and he cried," Dr.Vece Paes, Leander's father, told me several weeks later. "He was going through a difficult time (in his relationship with his doubles partner Mahesh Bhupathi) and the loss was such a huge blow."

Every one should be wondering why I did not mention Sachin Tendulkar though I one of his diehard fans. I would like to explain : In Cricket, Football, Hockey no doubt the individual talent is required but they need help from the others also. In Cricket when Sachin pushes the ball in the gap and takes run if the runner does not respond he could not take the run. In Hockey and Football if there is no proper pass then there is no possibility of scoring the goal. But in tennis when you play you have to play alone and with highly competitive people like the likes of Andre Agassi, Sampras, Goran, Henmen etc.

Volume 16 - Issue 13, June 19 - July 02, 1999 India's National Magazine from the publishers of THE HINDU Table of Contents TENNIS A special, winning partnership The success and strength of the Leander Paes-Mahesh Bhupathi team, the greatest Indian doubles pair, springs from their belief in each other. NARESH KUMAR IT was a historic occasion for Indian tennis when Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi won the men's doubles title at the French Open championships. The four Grand Slam tournaments - the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open - are ack nowledged as summits of the tennis world and winning a title in any one of them brings international acclaim and recognition. Paes' and Bhupathi's feat - they are the first Indian pair to win a Grand Slam title - is a matter of great pride and joy. So often in the past year have Paes and Bhupathi failed narrowly to win a Grand Slam doubles title that one was beginning to despair and wonder if they would ever pull it off. In 1998, which was a big year for them, they were in the semi-finals of three Grand Slam tournaments - the Australian Open, the French Open and the U.S. Open - and won a record eight events on the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) tour. This year, at the Australian Open, they were a step closer to the summit but fell at th e last hurdle, losing narrowly to the strong combination of Patrick Rafter and Jonas Bjorkman in the final. During the ATP tournament in Chennai in April, there was talk of a possible split between Paes and Bhupathi. Happily the boys stayed together, won the title in Chennai and have now won their first Grand Slam men's doubles title.

Volume 20 - Issue 15, July 19 - August 01, 2003 India's National Magazine from the publishers of THE HINDU Home Contents TENNIS A Swiss star emerges NARESH KUMAR Roger Federer's Wimbledon triumph underscores his enormous talent and gives men's tennis a shot in the arm. India had plenty to cheer about in the form of Leander Paes and Sania Mirza. JEFF J MITCHELL/REUTERS Wimbledon champion, 2003, Roger Federer. As fate turned the pages of a memorable championship, it unfolded a fascinating fortnight. The tone for the 2003 Wimbledon championships was set by the shock first round defeat of Lleyton Hewitt, the 21year-old reigning champion, by the 6 feet 10 inch Croat Ivo Karlovic. A humble qualifier, Karlovic was sharing a room with his coach in a grubby Earl's Court Hotel. His move to a luxury hotel with liveried service and a luxurious king-sized bed, which did not require him to prop up his feet on suitcases at the foot of the bed to sleep at night, was the endearing stuff that fairy tales are made of. Hewitt's loss threw the top half of the draw wide open and raised the hopes of young aspirants such as Andy Roddick and Roger Federer. In the end, the 21-year-old Swiss Roger Federer, his emotions masked in oriental calm during the match, harnessed his enormous talent and played flawlessly in the final rounds to win his first Grandslam title.

By Our Correspondent©2002 Bollyvista.com Yet another famous couple has called it quits. Break-ups are quite common in the glam world but when one thought of actress Mahima Chowdhary and tennis star Leander Paes, no one could have thought that some day their relationship would hit the rocks too. Yet, this is exactly what has happened. News reports indicate that Mahima and Leander split up last month after Leander refused to get married to an adamant and possessive Mahima. The trouble started to brew when Mahima started to push Leander to get married this year. Mahima's nagging intensified when Paes’ friend and partner Mahesh Bhupathi announced his marriage to model Shweta Jaishanker but Leander wanted to concentrate on his game instead. The constant arguments finally led the couple to say good-bye to each other in November.

After Harsh Mankad gave India a 1-0 lead on the opening day yesterday, Prakash Amritraj made it 2-0 with a straight set win over Wang Yu earlier today before Paes and Bhupathi completed the scoreline with a win over Yu and Zhu Ben-Qiang in the doubles rubber. Prakash played near flawless tennis to thrash Yu 6-3 6-4 6-2 in the second singles match which had to be completed today after rain halted play yesterday. Paes and Bhupathi then struggled a bit but their experience proved too much for Yu and Qiang as the Indians registered the win, 7-6 (13/11) 6-3 3-6 6-1, in two hours and 45 minutes. India, who had earlier defeated China in 1997 and 2001, would now meet the winner of the match between Indonesia and Uzbekistan for a place in the World Group play off. The Chinese, with little experience on playing on grass, never looked comfortable against the Indians and surrendered rather meekly in the singles but did put up a fight in the doubles with their left-right combination of Yu and Zhu. The dead reverse singles, which will pit Amritraj against Peng and Mankad versus Yu tomorrow, would be best of three affairs now.

Saturday, August 14, 2004 Deadly duo One is a dashing debonair player who is as much in the news for his love games as for his commitment to tennis. The other too is known for his bounce on and off the court. Sharing a see-saw relationship but a force to reckon with when together, Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi are joining hands to give their best shot at Athens. M.S. Unnikrishnan on the aces they serve and their personal lives which grab headlines. W hen two players of almost identical talent and charisma get together, with matching sun signs to boot, sparks fly. The coming together of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi — their third coming, in fact — augurs well for India’s Olympic hopes. If there’s any sport in which India aims a sure shot at Athens, it’s tennis. Leander and Mahesh have reinforced this belief after they lifted the $ 2.5-million ATP Masters title in Toronto recently. Though they fell at the quarter-final stage of the ATP tournament at Cincinatti a few days later, the Indian pair made it loud and clear, for their critics to hear, that they had begun their Olympic preparation in right earnest. Both Geminians, Leander and Mahesh, separated by just a year in age (Leander is ’73 born and Mahesh ’74), seem to strike up amazing wavelength and rapport whenever they reunite, after long separations. They work up instant rhythm and synergy on court, and it’s difficult to believe that they have been playing with different partners for the past 27 months.
