Advise Leander, Mahesh!

December 14, 2006

Together, they are mean machines on the tennis court.

Offcourt too, alas, Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi don't seem very different.

Minutes after winning the doubles gold at the Doha Asian Games, the familiar rancour between the greatest Indian tennis players was back on display.

'Honestly, our story is the biggest tragedy that has ever happened to Indian sport, and I say that I am glad that this tragedy ended on a high note with a gold in the Asian Games,' Bhupathi said soon after the Doha triumph.

>Not too long ago, Lee-Hesh were the biggest phenomenon to hit Indian sport, the duo winning three of the four Grand Slam titles in their heyday.

Even when not on the best of terms, their Asian Games triumph shows the couple still have it in them to earn laurels for India.

Perhaps what they are missing in their is correct advice. So why don't you take it upon yourself to tell them what they need to do, for the sake of Indian sport?

Tell us what you think Lee-Hesh should do!
