New Delhi: Indian tennis ace Leander Paes is eager to partner Rohan Bopanna at the Olympics next year and says that the two can win a men's doubles medal at the Rio de Janeiro Games.

"Bopanna is a phenomenal player. I believe in him and I do believe we can win an Olympic medal together. As long as we believe in each other we can win medals," the 42-year-old Paes said here on Saturday.

The veteran is the only Indian to bring home a medal from tennis — a feat he accomplished way back at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics when he won the men's singles bronze.
