Paes對於Bhupathi和Bopanna這種類似勒索的舉動最終成功非常不爽,
也有傳言指Paes要印度網協出書面通告保證奧運Mirza一定要和他配。
文中有提到Mirza的首選是Bhupathi,兩人搭檔之前拿過澳網和今年法網,
但Mirza不介意和Paes配,兩人拿過2006亞運金牌;
另外如果Mirza能拿外卡的話女雙會和Chakravarty搭,
印度也替正在養傷的Devvarman申請男單外卡。
印度網協也提到派出兩隊男雙是基本目前情況考量,這樣才不會損害印度奪牌希望,
不過也提到在奧運後會對Bhupathi和Bopanna採取適當行動。
AITA picks two teams for Olympics, Paes still unhappy
The All India Tennis Association (AITA) Thursday tried to keep Mahesh
Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna happy by deciding to send two doubles teams to the
Olympics as they demanded and gave an assurance to Leander Paes that he would
partner Sania Mirza in the mixed doubles.
Paes, who is asked to partner youngster Vishnu Vardhan in the men's doubles,
is far from pleased with AITA bowing to the "black-mailing tactics" of
Bhupathi and Bopanna and letting them pair up.
Paes's father Vece Paes said it was not a justified decision and a source
close to the family told IANS that the top-ranked Indian in doubles has asked
for a written assurance from the AITA that Mirza won't back off at the last
moment for Bhupathi.
Sania and Bhupathi recently won the French Open.
AITA president Anil Khanna also admitted that the decision was unfair on Paes
and appropriate action would be taken against Bhupathi and Bopanna after the
Olympics.
Khanna said the final recommendations have been made as Thursday was the
deadline for sending the Olympic entries to the International Tennis
Federation (ITF).
"The AITA agrees that this decision is unfair to India No.1 and World No.7
Leander Paes. The AITA holds Leander in very high esteem and appeals to him
to accept the decision in the best interest of the nation," said Khanna.
Asked if Paes has sought any assurances from Sania, Khanna said: "Sania is no
one to give an assurance. Her qualification depends only on a wildcard. And
we have sent all the nominations and they cannot be changed without the
approval of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA)."
Sania's preferred partner was Bhupathi, but she had informed AITA that she
would play with Paes if asked to do so. Sania, if eligible, will also partner
Rushmi Chakravarty in the women's doubles. The AITA has also applied for a
wild card for Somdev Devvarman in the men's singles event.
Khanna said sending two men's doubles teams was not the best decision on
"tennis grounds" but the association was left with no option as any other
decision would hamper India's medal prospects.
"AITA admits that the decision of pairing Mahesh and Rohan on tennis grounds
alone may not be the best. However, in the given circumstances, this is the
most appropriate decision," said Khanna.
Khanna also said the decision was arrived at after consulting AITA's honorary
life president S.M. Krishna, who is also India's external affairs minister.
"Mr. Krishna's guidance and approval helped the AITA to arrive at the
decision," said Khanna.
In fact, Krishna played the key role in convincing Paes to pair-up with
Vishnu and end the week-long drama over the selection.
Krishna spoke with Paes early Thursday morning and convinced him to pair with
Vishnu for the sake of the nation.
"Mr. Krishna personally spoke with Leander in the morning and told him that
he should make some sacrifice for the sake of the nation. The AITA hopes
Leander will now give Vishnu achance to play his first Olympics," AITA
secretary-general Bharat Oza told IANS.
Khanna concurred and said the decision of sending two teams was taken after
consulting Krishna, a tennis player himself.
Khanna felt that Paes will soften his stand and partner with Vardhan.
"We have taken a very calculated risk. But I hope he will make some sacrifice
for the sake of the nation and also give two Indians their first chance to
play in the Olympics," said Khanna.
Khanna said AITA expects the players to accept the decision graciously that
has been taken after due deliberations.
"AITA now expects all the players to graciously accept the decision which has
been taken after due consultation and deliberations in the best interest of
the players and the nation," he said.
Khanna also remained hopeful that six players would be representing India at
the Olympics. It will be the biggest ever Indian participation in Olympic
tennis.
"In case Sania is given a wildcard on June 28 this decision may help six
players to represent the country in the Olympics which will be the largest
ever in tennis in Olympics from India," he said.
