Tennis - While Leander Paes is still going strong and wants to play till the Rio Olympics in 2016, his former friend and partner Mahesh Bhupathi had said that he would quit the sport at the end of the 2013 season.
Now Bhupathi says he is hoping to play on till Wimbledon in 2014 and wants to play a light schedule with the hope of making the ranking cut-off for Wimbledon,
Speaking in Mumbai where he was part of an Indian Tennis Players Association event, Bhupathi commented, 'The target is to try and make the cut for Wimbledon. I don't know my schedule for the year though. If I can play six tournaments this year I will be happy. I am anyway travelling for work. I had to go to Sydney for work; I had to go to Melbourne for four days of work. So I might as well play. Plus, I love the game.
'I am hoping to play in Dubai at least since I (with Michael Llodra) won the title last year and have to defend those points. I have to make enough points to make it to Wimbledon. I am playing with Rajeev Ram in Melbourne, we'll see after that.'
Bhupathi has dropped to no. 35 in the world rankings after a lackluster season in 2013.
