If AITA had control over the players and a proper planning in place, coupled with players’ intense desire to win a medal for themselves and the country, the story could have been different today.
Bopanna is immensely talented but that has never transformed into big success. He always had to live under the shadows of Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi and it was his golden chance to grab a slice of history for himself.
It was the last chance for this trio of Sania, Rohan and Paes to win an Olympic medal since they have played their last Olympics. By the time the Tokyo Games come, these players are unlikely to be around.
AITA’s lack of control over the players can be attributed to the negligible role it has played in helping their careers, which the players made almost entirely on their own.
Instead of the Association, it’s the players who call the shots and they can’t be blamed.
