AITA have misled the nation over doubles pairing: Bopanna

India’s ace tennis players Rohan Bopanna and Sania Mirza have lashed out at All India Tennis Association (AITA) for lack of clarity over nomination of players for the Olympics. The 41-year-old Bopanna said that India’s apex tennis body has misled him and the entire country over his qualification.

ITF has never accepted an entry for Sumit Nagal & myself. ITF was clear that no changes were allowed after the nomination deadline (22nd June) unless Injury/Illness. AITA has mislead the players, government, media and everyone else by stating we still have a chance. @AnurajR1, tweeted Bopanna.

It was reoported that the AITA had paired Bopanna with Sumit Nagal in the men’s doubles competition at the Olympics by withdrawing Divij Sharan’s nomination.

The AITA had thought of pairing the two since Nagal had already qualified for the singles event and was bound for Tokyo.
