Indian tennis is in for a chaotic situation with players feeling politics slowly creeping in. At least sports must be out of reach of politics.

The blaming game has started in the Indian tennis scenario, even before the commencement of the Olympics. In its maiden scene India’s tennis veteran Mahesh Bhupathi felt the politics of the All India Tennis Federation (AITA) could not be gauged. In spite of making a winning combination with Sania in the Australian Open with Sania in 2009, they were not paired for the 2010 Commonwealth Games at home. Instead she was paired with Leander Paes another veteran, and the pair lost to gold medalists Jocelyn Rae and Colin Fleming from Scotland in the quarterfinal.

On the sidelines of the Australian open the veteran took time to speak to reporters at Melbourne on Thursday where he vented his ire on the AITA. Funny enough, the politics of our association is so that we really don't know," said Bhupathi. The ace champ, who is to compete in the Australian Open, pleaded ignorance when asked if fans will see him and Sania competing in London Olympics.

Bhupathi last year spilt with his old partner Paes, a bronze medalist in Atlanta Olympics, to pair with Rohan Bopanna with an eye to the London Olympics. Bhupathi and Paes reunited after a nine-year gap with the plan of representing India at the Olympics but parted ways soon. (With inputs from Internet) (AarKay)
