Pune: Veteran Leander Paes will compete in an ATP Challenger event in India for the first time in almost two decades as he teams up with young Ramkumar Ramanathan for the KPIT-MSLTA Challenger starting today while Saketh Myneni will lead the country's singles challenge.
Paes has played a few Challengers this season to earn crucial points to improve his ranking. The last time Paes played in an ATP Challenger event in India was in December 1997.
As Davis Cup teammates, Paes and Ramkumar have spent time together and even as they are combining for the first time in an ATP event, Paes has the reputation of building on-court chemistry with new partners. Ramkumar will be his 110th partner in Men's doubles.
