They were once the best doubles team in the world, reaching all four grand slam finals in 1999. But, they're getting old now. Hope they can pull out a medal. So far so good, but their next match will be far more difficult (Federer-Wawrinka or Youzhny-somebody).
Quoted: Their impeccable on-court camaraderie betrayed no signs of a stormy past as Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi today inched closer to their first joint Olympic medal by reaching the quarter-finals of the men's doubles event here.
