Perseverence Paes

Sir — This refers to the editorial, “Right way to score points” (September 11). Indian tennis star leander Paes has created history by becoming the oldest man to win the US Open doubles title.
When the legendary Martina Navratilova clinched the Australian Open and the Wimbledon mixed doubles, partnering leander Paes at 43 in 2003, none would have imagined then that Paes himself would achieve such a feat at 40. He is one the greatest youth icons of independent India; he has made us proud.
