Paes pulled out of Asiad for not getting 'specialist' partner
Tennis player Leander Paes withdrew from the upcoming Asian Games for not getting a "specialist" men's doubles partner. "Despite...repeated requests...it is sad that we haven't been able to put a doubles specialist in the team for a credible second doubles pairing," the 45-year-old said. Paes was asked to team up with Sumit Nagal, who has lost nine straight first-round matches.
