Leander prefers to partner Myneni in Davis Cups in future

Leander Paes has often been criticized for being outspoken and letting his preferences known to public. The veteran of 18 Grand Slam wins has made it clear that he would like to partner Saketh Myneni in Davis Cups in future. Leander partnering Saketh for the first time gave a good account of themselves in their very first professional match together going down fighting. The Indian pair lost 6-4,6-7,4-6,4-6 to Rio Olympics gold medalists Rafael Nadal and Marc Lopez. “I really enjoyed playing with Saketh today. He is a natural ad court player and we combined really well. Ours is a very natural partnership. He has my back and he knows I have his. The way we played in our very first match against the Olympics gold winners, imagine what we can do if we play few more matches together. Saketh is my 108th partner. I know personalities. We don’t really have to try. We communicate very well. I hope I get my record of most doubles wins in Davis Cup with Saketh,” Paes said in the post match press conference.
