Anyone of the Dfers here aware that Leander Paes has reached the final of the MIXED DOUBLES in the on going US open ?

Paes- Martin Damm ( Czech republic ) managed to reach the finals in US open being conducted in Flushing Meadows , Newyork

Its shame on our part not to recognize OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS by Paes & Bhupathy - tennis
Viswanathan Anand- Chess

Vijay Singh - Golf

AND COUNTLESS NUMBER OF SPORTSMEN

BUT SACHIN TENDULKAR & CRICKET CONTINUES TO GET WORSHIPPED FOR EVER

While the news about Sachin recuperating is still at large in every news paper, EXTRAORDINARY FEATS OF PAES / BHUPATHY HAVE BEEN DUMPED BELOW CARPET . WHY

WHY THIS NARROWMINDED ATTITUDE ?

LETS SALUTE THE GREAT PAES

these two guys must be "kicked-off"...idiots!

they have split for personal reasons and playing with other country guys...

"the indian pair" word is what expected...not the names of paes or bhupathy

I am frustrated with the media & the Indian public on this . Not with Sachin .
When even a small news about his Restaurant opening appears as a big news item, why not FOCUS BE GIVEN TO REAL ACHIEVERS like Paes / Bhupathy / Anand / Malleswari / Rana

Again, just because Sania is beautiful, she is being given focus

[nilavupriyan]

see....sachin is best in his game..."he is the best batsman of the world"

thats why he get that craze...if any other player has got that international caliber...they should also get that fame!

i would say vishvanathan anand is the only guy to be at that top in his game

[rocketboy]

To put it in one sentence,
Leander Paes- The greatest Indian sportsperson

Ada, Men's doubles'nga !

He lost the first round Mixed doubles paired with some Aussie girl (what happened to to the Paes-Navaratilova team - any idea ? Has she retired ....again)

[nilavupriyan]

see if anyone is as popular as federer in tennis atleast as roddik...people will respect him equal to sachin because sachin is the federer of cricket!

he is respected as the best batsman of the world by many!...

GREAT NEWS


Leander Paes and Martin Damm crowned their first year as a pair as they beat Jonas Bjorkman and Max Mirnyi 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-3 to win the men's doubles title at the U.S. Open on Saturday.

Indian Paes and Czech Damm were a break down in the second set but recovered to win in two hours, 35 minutes.

Bjorkman and Mirnyi, who lost to American brothers Bob and Mike Bryan in the final 12 months ago, looked on course for victory when they took the opening set on a tiebreak and broke in the first game of the second.

But Paes and Damm, beaten finalists at the Australian Open and who saved five match points in their semifinal win, roared back to clinch victory.

Paes said communication had been the key to his success with Damm.

"Martin is strong and plays more solid. I'm more flashy and a bit more quick. We really complement each other. "It's been a fantastic year playing with him. I've really enjoyed it. I'd like to thank him for a wonderful year."

ATLEAST FROM NOW, LET US STOP HERO WORSHIPPING SOME UNSCRUPLOUS GUYS WHO ARE BEING TREATED LIKE A GOD BUT OTHER GREAT PERFORMERS ARE BEING TREATED LIKE STEP BROTHERS

LET US SALUTE THE GREATEST INDIAN SPORTSMAN EVER TILL DATE
