 Playing doubles with Mahesh my worst decision: Paes
In a startling revelation Indian Davis Cup captain Leander Paes said that the decision to play doubles with Mahesh Bhupathi was the worst decision he made in his career.
Paes said that he sacrificed his singles career by opting to play doubles with Mahesh Bhupathi in the late 1990s.
"When I was at the top of my singles career, I actually sacrificed my rankings to play Satellites and Future tournaments with him (Bhupathi) so that he could be at par with me which would help us get entry into ATP tournaments", he said.
"Though everyone advised me not to pick up a rookie player like Mahesh, my instincts told me to take him along," Paes was quoted as saying by espnstar.com.
"Now, when I look back, I regret the fact that I sacrificed my singles career for him. I had won the Pilot Pen International tournament beating the top players of the world, including Pete Sampras and reached a world ranking of 73 in 1998. |
