Paes confirms participation in London Olympics

Ending the long fiasco over tennis pairing, Leander Paes today confirmed that he will participate in the 2012 London Olympics, agreeing to play with any team that the All India Tennis Association (AITA) chooses, citing that he will not let petty politics come in the way of hard work and good tennis. The confirmation comes three days after Sania Mirza had written a letter to AITA expressing her displeasure regarding the ongoing tennis fiasco.
