PAES THE PARISIAN !!


I don't think after yesterday's gritty, comeback from behind win in the Men's Doubles finals at Roland Garros, the people of Paris would mind Leander and his partner Lukas Dlouhy calling themselves natives of the city which has given them their maiden Grand Slam title as a team.



It was a superb match with the Indo - Czech pair on top of their game, displaying vintage tennis. Leander was absolutely pumped-up and it was quite a sight to behold. I don't think there's a better player than him at the net today . Both, he and Dlouhy combined beautifully to keep the big serving duo of Wesley Moodie of South Africa and Dick Norman of Belgium at bay and eventually drubbing them style to lift the title.





Yours truly simply loved this match. "Paisa vasool" as we call it up north, in this part of the world.
