One of the oldest players to hold a grand Slam title , Leander Paes is considered to be one of the best Men’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles player of all time.

He holds eight men’s doubles titles, ten mixed doubles titles, and an Olympic bronze medal ( interestingly, in the singles) in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics Games, Pase became the first and only Indian Tennis player to compete in six consecutive Olympic games.

Paes, not having clinched an automatic spot to go to Rio 2016, has to find his rhythm with doubles World No. 13 Rohan Bopanna, who was not too happy with the association's decision to play together. Paes hopes to clinch another Olympic win to his already existing records.
