India's tennis ace Leander Paes, 45, may have won eight doubles and 10 mixed doubles Grand Slam titles, but representing the country in Davis Cup is closer to his heart than winning Grand Slams. And Paes, who has a world record 43 doubles wins in the Davis Cup to his name, still dreams of figuring in the prestigious event.

Asked about which performances he cherishes the most - Grand Slams or Davis Cups - Paes replied: "Tough to decide. I think Davis Cup... I've got the world record now and I played it over 30 years. I started playing in 1991 as a young boy, so it's a nice span. The Grand Slams - Australian, French, Wimbledon, US Open are obviously the biggest tournaments in the world, but playing for the country has given me the greatest joy. When I play in a Grand Slam, I play for the country, but it's more [as a] professional. When I play in the Davis Cup, Olympics or Asian Games, I am representing the country.
