Early life
Leander was born in Calcutta, India, on 17 June 1973 to Vece Paes, a Goan, and, Jennifer Paes, from Calcutta. He was educated at La Martiniere Calcutta, Madras Christian College Higher Secondary School [8] and the St. Xavier’s College of the University of Calcutta. His parents were both athletes. Vece was a midfielder in the bronze medal-winning Indian field hockey team at the 1972 Munich Olympics.[9] His mother captained the Indian basketball team in the 1980 Asian basketball championship. Paes is a direct descendant of Bengali poet Michael Madhusudan Dutta through his mother. Paes had a live-in-relationship with Rhea Pillai in 2005. The couple have a daughter, Aiyana. She filed a case at a local metropolitan court against Paes in 2014, alleging that he had her belongings removed from a wing of his home so his visiting parents could stay there.[10]
Paes enrolled with the Britannia Amritraj Tennis Academy in Madras (Chennai) in 1985, where he was coached by Dave O’Meara.[11] The academy played a key role in his early development. Leander earned international fame when he won the 1990 Wimbledon Junior title and rose to no. 1 in the junior world rankings at age 17.
In 2010, he joined the Board of Directors of Olympic Gold Quest,[12] a foundation co-founded by Geet Sethi and Prakash Padukone to support talented Indian athletes.[13]
Career
Early career (1991-1997)
Paes first won titles at the Junior US Open and the Junior Wimbledon and he turned professional in 1991.[14] He rose to number 1 in the world junior rankings.[15] In 1992, he reached the quarter finals of the doubles event in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics with Ramesh Krishnan.[16]
At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics he beat Fernando Meligeni to win the bronze medal, the first Indian to win an individual medal since KD Jadhav won bronze at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics.[17] Paes cited the match as one of his greatest performances, in part because his wrist was severely injured.[18] He was awarded the highest sporting honor by the government of India, the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna in 1996.[19]
His first successful year in the ATP circuit came in 1993, when he partnered with Sbastien Lareau to reach the US Open doubles semifinal. After a moderate season in 1994, he reached the quarter-finals of the 1995 Australian Open doubles with Kevin Ullyett. From 1996, he partnered with fellow-Indian Mahesh Bhupathi. Their first year was not successful, especially in the Grand Slams, reaching the round of 32 only at Wimbledon. 1997 proved to be a much better year for the team, reaching the US Open semifinals. Paes climbed the doubles ranking from no. 89 at the beginning of the year to no. 14 at year end.[20] That year he made his best singles performance in a Grand Slam, losing in the third round of the 1997 US Open to Cdric Pioline after beating Carlos Costa and Arnaud Boetsch.
Rise in doubles (1998-2002)
Paes/Bhupathi grew stronger in 1998, reaching the semifinals of three Grand Slams, the Australian Open, the French Open and the US Open. Paes had two of his biggest singles results. The first one came by winning his only ATP singles title at Newport, and the second was beating Pete Sampras, 6-3, 6-4 at the New Haven ATP tournament at their only meeting.[21][22][23][24] In 1999, the duo reached the finals of all four Grand Slams, winning Wimbledon and the French, thus becoming the first Indians to win a doubles event at a Grand Slam. Paes teamed up with Lisa Raymond to win the mixed doubles event at Wimbledon. The year marked his ascent to the no. 1 doubles ranking.[25] The following year, Paes partnered with Sbastien Lareau for the Australian and Jan Siemerink for the French, losing in the first round on both occasions. Paes again teamed with Bhupathi for the US Open, but lost in the first round again.
The duo had a disappointing second round exit to Australian duo of Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde at the Sydney Olympics.[26] Paes was given the honor of carrying the Indian Flag at the opening ceremony.[27]
In spite of winning the French in 2001, Bhupathi/Paes had first-round exits in the other three Grand Slams. Paes was awarded the Padmashri by the Government of India in 2001.[28] The duo of Paes and Bhupathi won the gold medal at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan.[29] In 2002, Leander paired up with Michael Hill with moderate success.

2003-2007
After 2003 Paes increasingly focused on doubles. He won the mixed doubles events at the Australian and Wimbledon with Martina Navratilova, both in 2003.

He had to miss the US Open, but recovered by the end of that year.[30]
In the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, he paired up with Bhupathi, failing again at the semifinals stage. His next Grand Slam success was in the US Open doubles event in 2006 with Martin Damm. Paes led the Indian tennis team at the Doha Asian Games in 2006 and won two golds in the men’s doubles (with Bhupathi) and mixed doubles (with Sania Mirza).[31][32] Paes maintained his doubles ranking in the top 20 in the world between 2005 and 2007.[33][34] With wins in the Rotterdam and Indian Wells, Paes took his doubles tally to 38.[35][36][37]

In singles, his major wins came against the French duo of Arnaud Boetsch and Henri Leconte in 1993, Wayne Ferreira in 1994, and Goran Ivanievi in 1995 when India defeated Croatia, beating Jan Siemerink in 1995 to defeat Netherlands, and Ji Novk in 1997.[59][60] He teamed up with Bhupathi to beat Hirszon/Ivanisevic of Croatia in 1995, Damm/Korda of the Czech Republic in 1997, Mass/Ros of Chile in 1997, Broad/Henman in 1998, and Aspelin/Bjrkman of Sweden in 2005. In 2007, Leander had three wins (two doubles and one singles) and no losses.
In 1993 he beat No. 25 Arnaud Boetsch on clay in straight sets. He also defeated Henri Leconte in the same week and even though Ramesh Krishnan closed the tie out by beating Rodolphe Gilbert in a five-setter, the architect of that victory was Paes.[clarification needed][citation needed]
In 1994 he beat World No. 13 Wayne Ferreira in straight sets.
In 1995 he beat Ivanievi (1992 and 1994 Wimbledon singles finalist) in a five-setter on grass. Jan Siemerink, in 1996, then ranked No. 20, also fell to Paes.[citation needed]
Year-end finals
Paes appeared with Bhupathi in six season finales.[61]

They lost the 1999 final to Sbastien Lareau and Alex O’Brien. In 2000, they lost the final to Donald Johnson and Pieter Norval.
Playing style
Leander has been described as having a strange playing style by Andre Agassi.[62] He varies his play as the match goes on; he is one of the best volleyers and a talented drop shotter.[63] His volleying techniques were learnt from former Indian player Akhtar Ali.[64] He hits a one-handed backhand, which he drives only seldom, preferring instead to slice when returning serve or rallying from his backhand.
Acting career
Leander made his film debut in Ashok Kohli’s Rajdhani Express, a socio-political thriller.[65]

Partnership with Mahesh Bhupathi

The duo of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi was nicknamed the Indian Express. Paes’ off-and-on partnership with Bhupathi drew constant media attention in their home country.[67][68][69] In the 2006 Asian Games, a loss to the Chinese Taipei team in the team event led Leander to question Bhupathi’s commitment to Team India.[70] He once stated in an interview that although he and Bhupathi are friends, he did not consider pairing with his former teammate.[71] However, for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, they reunited for their country,[72] losing in the quarterfinals to eventual champions Federer/Wawrinka.[73]
In 2011, the pair won doubles at the Chennai Open. They reunited to play in a Grand Slam Tournament after nine years and claimed runners-up in the 2011 Australian Open and reached the semifinals in the year-end championships.[74]
The Indian duo has a 303-103 career record together. They have a high success rate against various top teams.[75] They have a Davis Cup record for the longest doubles winning streak, with 24 straight wins.[76]
Paes paired with Vishnu Vardhan at the London Olympics 2012, following Bhupathi and Bopanna ‘s refusal.[77] Paes threatened to withdraw from the Olympics rather than play with Vardhan, whose world ranking was 296,[78] but withdrew the threat a week later.[79] Paes and Vardhan reached the second round of the tournament, losing to French silver medalists Llodra/Tsonga.
Davis Cup record
The duo has the longest doubles streak in Davis Cup history.
(24 consecutive wins, total 25-2)
