Bhupathi backs Paes

Rhea was reported as saying recently that Paes was “hardly ever involved in Aiyana’s parenting.” Bhupathi countered that by saying, “I have met Aiyana a few times. Leander has brought her along to our practice sessions; on the Tour as well as during the Davis Cup and I can confidently say that Aiyana and Leander are extremely close. He is a doting father and she loves him a lot. I do hope Aiyana is protected from all of this,” Bhupathi signed off.
