“Circle Of Life”: India Tennis Great Leander Paes Gives Candid Answer To Current Struggles

0





The legendary Leander Paes on Wednesday lamented the decline of Indian tennis, describing it as part of the “circle of life” while emphasizing the need for patience. The Indian team endured a 0-4 defeat against Sweden in its Davis Cup World Group I tie recently, which relegated them to the play-off stage for the upcoming year. “Like anything in life, when you go up, you have to come down, and then you come back up again. I am a big believer in the circle of life,” the former world No 1 in doubles said.

“I think we all need to have a little bit of patience as far as tennis goes. We have all enjoyed such an upswing over the last 40 years, proving that we can be number one in both women's doubles and men's doubles.” Currently, Sumit Nagal is the only Indian player in the top 100 of the ATP men's singles rankings, positioned at 83, while Ramkumar Ramanathan follows at 332.

At 44 years, Rohan Bopanna remains the flag-bearer of men's doubles in India, currently ranked sixth, with another veteran, Yuki Bhambri, at 43rd.

The WTA rankings reveal a grim situation for Indian women's tennis, with no players in the top 200; Sahaja Yamalapalli is the highest-ranked Indian at 293.

The 51-year-old further highlighted the significant growth of tennis in India over the past four decades, noting its rise to become the second most popular sport after cricket.

“Over the four decades that I played, tennis grew in popularity so much that it became the number two sport in the country after cricket,” the winner of 18 Grand Slam titles said.

“At the international level, tennis was winning more Grand Slams and international events. Between Sania, Mahesh, Bopanna and me, we have collectively won close to 40 Grand Slam titles, along with Olympic medals and several Asian Games medals. Tennis saw a great period over about 40 years.

“A little bit of patience is needed; the circle of life is playing out. We will experience a slump, but we will rise again.

“The circle of life is evident in everything — business or otherwise. The greatest key to success is patience. I have no doubt that tennis will rise again to the top in India,” he added.

After this both of them never worked together. This was not a coincidence but the reason for this was Juhi Chawla's displeasure with Aamir Khan.

'Ishq' was the seventh film of Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla in which they were working together. Ajay Devgan and Kajol were also in this film. Aamir Khan spit on Juhi Chawla's hand during the shooting of this film. After this, Juhi got so angry that she started crying and even said that now she will not come to the set.

But that joke affected him so much that Juhi did not talk to him for seven years. According to a news published in Lallantop, on the sets of 'Ishq', Aamir had told Juhi that he knows astrology.
