Paes-Bhupathi's reunion for Olympics dashed?
Speculations were gaining ground recently that Leander and Mahesh were vying for a wild card and come together for another time to represent the nation in the doubles event of the Olympics.
Anil Khanna, President of the Asian Tennis federation and Vice President of the International tennis federation said no wild card is available for the Tennis event.
"Let me make it clear to you that there are no wild cards available this year. No national federation can apply for one. They have sent a letter to all countries on April 6," Khanna told India Today.
Both the stars have competed together in four Olympics between 1996 and 2008. They have not won a medal.
