Mahesh Bhupathi said next time Olympics he would pair up with Paes to bring medal home
Sania Mirza will play with both in mixed doubles
Mahesh Bhupathi promised his fans that in his next Olympics he would pair up with Leander Paes and would bring a gold medal, after both the players lost their respective doubles tennis matches in the London Olympics.
"Hey boss! Actually we thought that if we play with other partners, India would have secured one gold medal and one silver medal. But now looking at the results I want to say neither we got gold nor silver, and even we could not qualify for bronze medal," said Mahesh Bhupathi.
He confirmed that the strategy was fallen apart, as their partners were totally ridiculous play and insult to the World Tennis.
He said "Yes guys in spite of creating so much rhetoric and making so much of claims we lost and we also understood that it would be better that if we play together. Yesterday, after Paes lost his match I suggested him to pair up with me in next Olympics and Sania will play with both of us which would easily secure at least 3 medals, two golds and one silver for India. He happily agreed to my proposal."
