It has been a good year for Indian sport. There was an encouraging show by athletes at the Beijing Olympics. India beat Sri Lanka on their home soil in an ODI series for the first time. This weekend, the battle-scarred veteran Leander Paes, won the US Open mixed doubles title with Cara Black of Zimbabwe. He and his Czech partner, Lukas Dlouhy, finished as runners-up in the men's doubles. A phenomenal performance by the Warrior.
