Can’t keep dwelling on the past: Bopanna

TIL Desk Sports/ Forget the past and communicate as much as possible — that’s how Rohan Bopanna plans to make his partnership with Leander Paes click in next month’s Olympics as he feels there is no point in holding on to the bitterness which has marred Indian tennis.

Bopanna, who wanted to play with Saketh Myneni but was teamed with Paes by AITA for Rio, says it’s better to forget a few episodes. And he credits the tough and lonely life on the ATP tour for helping him overcome such setbacks. Bopanna and Paes are here for the Davis Cup tie against Korea. They will play on Saturday against Hong Chung and Yunseong Chung. “You can’t keep dwelling on the past. If you keep dwelling on past, you never get positives.

You have to look at what is the scenario today and look ahead tomorrow. Today’s thing is that me and Leander are going to Rio. We are getting practice and before Rio also we will have four-five days. I am going straight to Rio after Toronto, Leander will also be there. Those few days we will try to get practice as much as we can. And get prepared,” Bopanna told.
