Its good that we had Leander and Bhupathi in doubles but a documentary lol. In the grand scheme of tennis, doubles is an inferior cousin to singles. That is the truth. Its a desi thing to earn money easier by playing doubles. I respect Leander to have a go in singles though and winning a bronze in olympics is a big deal too when we had a drought in medals.

In tennis, younger players play both singles and doubles to earn money. The players who rise in singles rankings focus on singles after a while and only play doubles occasionally for olympics and davis cup. Those who can't make it in singles tennis are the ones playing doubles as a career sport. We should stop glorifying doubles as a great thing and focus on singles talent. Right now its a moot point anyway because of the flopping economy and tennis becoming more expensive than it ever was.
