He has time and again proved to be a magician on court, wielding his racquet like a wand. He can manipulate the play and put the ball agonisingly out of his opponents’ reach. He is the winner of 18 Grand Slam titles -- eight in Men’s doubles and 10 in Mixed doubles. For Leander Paes, India’s most distinguished Grand Slam champion at age 42, age truly is just a number. Since combining together in 2015, Paes and Martina Hingis have won four Grand Slams together completing their team “Career Slam” as well in a short time frame of 18 months. He has equalled the great Martina Navratilova, his former mixed doubles partner, at 10 slams for most titles in the mixed doubles event. What is the secret to his longevity and his motivation for continuing to play at the highest level? “Hunger and passion that keep burning inside me. Every Olympics I concentrate and look after each one. I am really happy that I am peaking so well before Wimbledon and the Olympics and that I am happy that I am in great shape, physically fit and strong.” So can we expect to see an autobiography of Leander soon? Paes says: “It’s in the works. A couple of friends of mine have compiled an amazing body of work since I started playing as a kid. And they will come out at some point.” In a fast sport where moving a fraction slower can be the difference between winning and losing, it is remarkable that Paes’ reflexes at the net have not flagged. He is also a master tactician and at times plays a game of chess on the tennis court. Paes is not the kind of player who relies on power but more on touch and placement because he has got the gift of timing. The right hander from Kolkata can manoeuvre the ball out of reach of his opponents. His mind is always looking for the right shot to cross over and ‘poach’ a winning volley when his unsuspecting opponents are looking for a cross court return. At other times, he ‘fakes’ as if he is about to cross over but stays put and gets a put away volley. His opponents over the years have been fooled by drop volleys, side spins, angles, lobs and overheads and he says he is still learning every day. His doubles partners explain their feelings about playing alongside Paes. Hingis says: “We communicate well both on and off court and he’s great at the net. We both trust each other when it comes to crucial moments. Leander is someone I would trust with my life.” Such is the belief Paes inspires in his partners. Polish veteran Marcin Matkowski summarises his strengths on court. “Leander knows the game. He knows what to do on court to be successful and win. Leander is very positive, confident and is a great champion. At crucial times, he knows how to lead the charge and take advantage," he says. So what is Leander’s training regime that keeps him so fit at this age? Paes reveals his methodology, “The tennis skills are all muscle memory -- I know how to hit a serve, the second serve down breakpoint, how to hit a big return when I need it. I love the aspect of staying fit. Competing against the youngsters. "Right now I am focussing a lot on diet, strength and also on fitness, and speed. My dad (Dr Vece Paes) is very instrumental in that aspect. He has got the experience of working with hundreds of athletes for over 40 years and the theoretical knowledge through research and I have the practical knowledge of playing tennis for almost 30 years. "I am also aware of what training is done in other sports and also the fitness and recovery regimes of other players like Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.”

Death hoax of Jack Black

Next Post
Jack Black is the latest victim of a celebrity death hoax after a Twitter prank. Social media was sent into a frenzy on Sunday after a hacked Twitter account claimed that the actor had died overnight. Messages posted by official Twitter account of Tenacious D, the comedy rock band co-founded by the comedian, said he had "died at the age of 46", reports dailymail.co.uk. But just hours later, the same profile wrote: “Calm down guys! It's just a prank bro, look there's the camera.” Black, 46, who was last seen in public two days ago, has been the victim of a number of death hoaxes, including one last week that went viral. Black, known for his roles in “King Kong”, “School of Rock”, and “Kung Fu Panda” franchise, performed at Rock am Ring Music Festival, near Nurburgring, Germany on Friday night. He was also seen posing with American DJ Diplo for an image posted on photo-sharing app Snapchat in the early hours of Sunday morning. Hours later, social media was sent into a frenzy by a series of tweets posted by the verified Tenacious D Twitter account. The profile posted: “I'm sad to officially announce the death of Jack Black at the age of 46, rest in peace brother.” A third message read: “It is with a heavy heart I am to announce that Jack Black passed away last night at 3:37am. The cause of death is yet unknown.” Guitarist John Konesky, who plays with Tenacious D, soon dismissed the rumours, writing: “Twitter feed was hacked. Than s**t ain't true! They're working on fixing it!” But dozens of social media users were swept up in the speculation. One Twitter user wrote “OMG terrible news. What happened?”, another said “My heart just stopped. Tell me this is a joke.” Just hours later, the hacker posted four further messages -- revealing the death announcement had been fake. The post read: “Calm down guys! It's just a prank bro, look there's the camera...The Legend is still alive, it is ok guys.” The hacker later exploited the publicity by encouraging users to follow their account on Twitter. It is the latest in a series of death hoaxes targeting Black in recent weeks. On Friday a Facebook page called 'R.I.P Jack Black' posted: “At about 11 a.m. ET on Friday (June 03, 2016), our beloved actor Jack Black passed away. Jack Black was born on August 28, 1969 in Santa Monica. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.” Hundreds of fans posted condolence messages on the page, sending social media into a frenzy. The page was 'liked' by nearly one million users.
