After the selection committee met here, All India Tennis Association President Anil Khanna said: “Men’s doubles more fortunate with Bopanna in top 10 and Paes at 46.”
Bopanna on Friday took everyone by surprise when he chose to partner young Saketh Myneni over Paes.
“Bopanna respects Paes, he has given us his reasons why he would prefer Myneni,” Khanna told the media.
Paes recently completed a career slam after winning the French Open mixed doubles along with Swiss great Martina Hingis at Roland Garros.
