Leander Paes Earns Historic Win In Mixed Doubles
-From ATP News
"Leander Paes partnered Martina Hingis to the Roland Garros mixed doubles title, rallying to win 4-6, 6-4, 10-8 against No. 2 seeds Sania Mirza and Ivan Dodig. Paes became the third player in the Open Era to win a career Grand Slam in both men’s and mixed doubles". "The 42-year-old Paes owns the Open Era men's record with 10 mixed doubles titles. The Indian reached No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Doubles Rankings in 1999 and won Roland Garros three times in men’s doubles (1999, 2001 and 2009)".

The Djokovic standard
-Editorial; The Hindu, June 7, 2016
"Some have suggested that Djokovic winning the calendar Slam this year will earn him the strongest claim to the title of the Greatest of All Time. It’s a discussion that will rage and rage, for like many things in sport, it’s unknowable. More readily apparent, however, is why Djokovic is so good. Nobody can stay with him in the long rally, for he enjoys a significant athletic edge over everyone else. And much like against a fully fit Nadal, the pressure to do too much too soon weighs heavily on opponents."
