Cricketics Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Good job. Are they back together for good? WOW. amazed me people ask this now. Bhai pura ek saal ho gaya almost. They played first tour Aus open in Jan and reached finals. Yes they are back for good, but I don't know how long they going to stay playing because they both are about 38 each. But kudos to them that they still play like champions at this age. They are going to be the eldest pair to win grandslam if they do so in US Open.

Cricketics Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Gold - Leander Paes vs Andre Agassi This game was played right after the Atlanta olympics in which Leander finished with Bronze and Agassi with Gold. Check out the shot at 1:05. Shot of the match from Leander. What a classy player he used to be back in the days [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV7rX5_pPIQ]USO 1996 - Agassi v Paes 2nd rd highlights - YouTube[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magneto Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 You guys should read Agassi's autobiography 'Open' if you have not read it already. It's one hell of a book, one of the best sport autobiographies you will ever read. And he disses Leander comically in this book describing him as someone 'who has never learnt how to hit a tennis ball'. That one para is too funny :--D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricketics Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Beating the Brian Brothers is awesome :hatsoff: Yes, he lost twice to them with different partners in Aus open final. So to win the slam which he couldn't win that too against the same finalist in straight sets, makes it even more special. Bryan brothers were in full of praise for Leander.

asterix Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thanks Tdigi for that banner. :hatsoff: to Paes and Stepanik. Tdigi bhai, as a tribute and also as a message, is it possible to keep this banner for a longer time (atleast till our Rockstart cricketers start winning something? By something, I don't mean T20 matches.. The least will be an ODI series). Hope, if they stumble upon this site of Indian cricket fans, they get the message..

Stuge Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Leander Paes lifts 50th doubles title in ATP Miami tourney Miami: Indian tennis veteran Leander Paes became only the 24th player in the ATP World Tour history to win 50 doubles titles after he and his Czech partner Radek Stepanek clinched the Sony Ericsson Open, their second team trophy of the season. The 38-year-old also Paes and Stepanek, who were seeded seventh, rallied to upstage second seeds Max Mirnyi and Daniel Nestor 3-6 6-1 10-8 yesterday. After dropping the first set, the Australian Open champions broke Mirnyi and Nestor twice in the second set to force a match tie-break. The Indo-Czech combination trailed 1-4 before winning six straight points to surge ahead. Stepanek closed out the victory with an unreturnable volley to clinch the win in 82 minutes. "Well actually Radek came to me and said something simple on my service return (in the second set) and that changed the whole momentum of the match. I have got to give full credit to Daniel and Max, they started out amazingly, they were all over us in the first set," a jubilant Paes said after the triumph. "Over all these years of playing, I have got to thank many partners, I have got to thank many coaches... I have to thank my father but most importantly my wonderful partner right now, Radek Stepanek," he added. Paes, who did little celebratory jig with Stepanek after the match, collected his third straight crown at Crandon Park, having triumphed with Lukas Dlouhy in 2010 and Mahesh Bhupathi in 2011. "(It's) really, really special. 50 tournaments takes a little doing. 600 matches takes a little bit of doing," said Paes. "Having done a three peat here in Miami is awesome. Next year, I hope to start another one." An equally elated Stepanek said he felt honoured to team up with Paes. "We fought through it, and we got on top of them in the second set all the way," said Stepanek. "We (were) the more aggressive, and, I would say, creative team in the Tie-break, as well. That's why we won. I am thankful to Lee for playing with me. It's an honour to play with a legend," he added. Mirnyi and Nestor finished runner-up for the second straight year, and were bidding to lift their third trophy in 2012, after successes in Brisbane and Memphis http://www.financialexpress.com/news/leander-paes-lifts-50th-doubles-title-in-atp-miami-tourney/931163/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricketics Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 The Leander Paes Thread. What a stellar effort. Knocked out Bryans on semis on their way. Leander/Stepanek lost last year to Bryans in finals and Leander in post match presentation said that they will be back to win this title. And they have done it. John Mcenroe was in total awe of leander and said that even though Bryans as team have better record in doubles, Leander is the greatest doubles player ever.
