"Vijay (Amritraj) and Ramesh (Krishnan) played with some fineness those days. But now, men's tennis is more physical. See, Roger Federer is a physical specimen. I don't think anyone following a strict Indian diet will go on to become a world champion", he told reporters here.On the question of partnering Sania Mirza for mixed doubles, he said it can can happen anytime now and they would anyway be pairing for Asian Games in Doha next year.
But, on his doubles partner, Bhupathi said he would go with South African Wimbledon champion Wesley Moody from the next season, with Australian open in January.
Sania deserves all the attention: Bhupathi
Kochi, November 20: Tennis has really come a long way in India and in the last five to six years it has been getting the biggest attention, thanks to Sania Mirza, who is doing really well in international circuits, doubles specialist Mahesh Bhupathi said on Sunday.
"Indian women tennis never was so deep as of now. As I can see it will grow. Wherever I go, parents want to make their children like Sania," he said when asked about the standard of women tennis.
