On tennis logic, there is no way he can justify picking Myneni over Paes. It would be silly to lend weight to the speculation that this is all being done to deny Paes his seventh Olympics. Rio would be Paes’ seventh record-breaking Olympic on the trot – more than any tennis player ever. Before the London Olympics, the same office bearers had lost face when they tried to browbeat Bopanna into pairing with Paes. However, if the selection committee grids its loins and decides to announce a team pairing Bopanna with Paes, one does not really see what options the man from Bangalore has.
