London Olympics: AITA to make final announcement on men's doubles team today

The All India Tennis Association, AITA, will make the final announcement on the men's doubles team for the London Olympics today, which is also the last day to submit names.Earlier, the AITA came out in support of Leander Paes in the row after both Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna refused to play with him in the London Olympics. The Sports Ministry also made it clear that it will leave the team selection to the Tennis Association. In a new twist to the ongoing tennis row, Leander Paes has threatened to pull out of the London Olympics if he has to team up with a lesser ranked player. Meanwhile, External Affairs Minister, S.M.Krishna has stepped in to resolve the issue. Krishna, who is also the Life President of the AITA, has asked its President Anil Khanna to meet all the players personally and talk to them immediately.
