Apart from him being a fitness freak, Paes’s spiritual inclination has also played a big role in his success over the past few years.
One question that followed Leander Paes ever since he won his 11th Grand Slam was how he was becoming better and better with age.
Well, apart from him being a fitness freak, Paes’s spiritual inclination has also played a big role in his success over the past few years. The 36-year-old is headed for Art of Living Foundation here and will be spending a couple of days at the ashram.
On Wednesday, Paes interacted with the media and took questions on his way of life. “My spiritual inclination has helped me play at an age when most people tend to retire,” Paes said. “I have always had a spiritual side — throughout my upbringing and disciplined career. I have now the chance to explore this from a scientific and spiritual angle,” he added.
“I had practised the Sudarshan Kriya through a scientific approach and now with Rhea’s experience with the Art of Living, she has taken me through the spiritual side of it,” said Paes.
Being in Bangalore, Paes also spoke about his and Mahesh Bhupathi’s partnership for the Commonwealth Games, where tennis has been introduced for the first time.
“Yes, our experience will matter. We played together for so many years. Our camaraderie is excellent,” said Paes. “If both of us are
injury-free, we are definitely the best team out there,” he added.
Paes is also looking forward to the Davis Cup tie against Russia though he is aware that it will be a big test for the young team.
“Playing Russia in the Davis Cup is a very, very tough tie. Davydenko has just won the World Masters after beating Federer in the final. They have got amazing depth in their team,” he said.
Paes said he was disturbed by the recent happenings in Australia against Indians.
“It is very unfortunate. I have had a long relation with Australia and Australians. Tony Roche coached me for three and half years in Sydney, where I lived with his family. Bob Carmichael, one of the greatest coaches in my life, taught me how to play the game of doubles. I lived with him in Melbourne. I can speak for myself that I have had some amazing interactions with them.
“Whether it is tennis or cricket, people of Australia and India have shared great professional relationship.”
