The Sports-India Community

USA Sports keeps on saying that Paradorn was the first Asian-born player to reach the top 10. Is there any particular reason they are excluding Krishnan, or are they just ignorant?

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Paes family. Get well soon Leander!

Bhupathi/Max beat Damn/Suk 7-6 6-4

On to the Semis!

Winning an Olympic Gold together would be such a unifying experience that these two could not possibly split thereafter.

sbasu -- you DO know that Ramanathan was in the top five and is still well-respected by a lot of folks for what he could do on court, right? .. That may not be enough, but to say that he is NOT WORTHY is not correct. He still remains the highest ranked tennis player Asia has produced. Jay Yes, I am...

As much as I'd like to see an Indian inducted into the Hall of Fame, I do not think any Indian player to date is worthy of such an honour. Instead of pushing for the induction of someone who probably doesn't deserve to be there, why don't we wait for a new star to emerge? Indian tennis is on the ris...

In fact, I knew the proper spelling for "Gandhi" too (this is evidenced in posts I had made previously in which I spelled the name correctly).

Anyway, guys, thanks for the welcome and support.

The source (a Gandhi biography) didn't give a name.

Yeah, whoever this Gandhiji's friend was, he can go to hell for all I care. I don't think Gandhiji ever said it. This "weak people" business is utter nonsense. Was PT Usha "weak"?? .. Was Milkha Singh weak?? .. Was Kapil Dev weak? .. Nehra? .. J.Srinath ? .. Is Anju weak? .. Is ...
