The All India Tennis Association chose Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi for the tournament even though Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna frequently play together on the ATP Tour.
The tennis association says the Paes-Bhupathi combination has the best chance at a medal, but neither Bhupathi nor Bopanna wants to play with Paes.
