I am not great: Paes

14 Grand Slam trophies, an Olympic medal and 53 titles on the ATP tour makes him one of the greatest tennis players India has produced but veteran Leander Paes today refused to be labelled as great.
"I don't have a great serve, a great forehand or backhand. I just do things with my partners, whoever it is," the 40-year-old star said in a modest self assessment on the eve of Chennai Open.
Paes said he dreams of winning more Grand Slams in 2014 and wants to compete in 2016 Brazil Olympics before hanging his boots.
"I will consult the right people at the right time on retirement and making way for young talents and at the same time set a solid Indian team. I think you are reading my mind. I'll come back to you when I take a decision on this," Paes said.

Paes said he was concerned about the wide gap in the rankings of the Indian players and that has to be "bridged".
"More than their talent, technique and skills, our players need to drastically improve upon their physical fitnesses. The kids abroad are 6ft or more these days. The way they run and stay fit is phenomenal.
