NEW YORK -- When Leander Paes walked over to the cramped interview station by the front door of the Bud Collins Media Center at Flushing Meadows, you would be hard pressed to know he just had a tough loss in his opening match.Paes, with eight doubles and 10 mixed doubles major titles to his name, suffered a tough 2-6, 7-5, 4-6 defeat with new partner Andre Begemann to Dudi Sela and Stephane Robert on Friday.But he greeted the small gathering of reporters awaiting him, with a beaming smile and firm handshakes.What else do I have to prove? he says, smiling again. Ive won 18 grand slams. Its all fun now.Paes said he and Begemann, the 32-year-old German, are still finding their feet together.It was a tough loss, Paes added. Im adjusting to a new partner. It takes a little getting used to. But weve had a great run so far, won Biella [Challenger], made the final in Winston-Salem, and had all sorts of chances to win today. Its just a tough learning curve.It is how a player responds to defeat throughout their career, Paes believes, that defines their legacy.Everyone can be great when theyre going well, he said. Who can be great when youre down -- thats a true champion.You win once, you win 10 times, thats great. When things are going good everyone looks great. Put your hair in place, you look great. When things are not good, thats when a true gentlemans quality shows up.Resilience, the ability to get through days like this, to get through hardships. To not get too down when you lose, to not get too up when you win. Resilience to keep getting better. resilience where your passion burns so hard, that you want to keep reinventing yourself to get better.The journey to the summit, in whatever discipline youre playing is a lonng road.dddddddddddd When you get to the summit, the view from there is so pretty that it lasts a few hours because the next Monday youre back in a draw with everyone else in tennis.Paes is 43 years old, and it seems like there is nothing left for him to achieve after another huge year. 2016 saw him complete the career Grand Slam in mixed doubles with Martina Hingis, and also saw him compete in his seventh Olympics, the only tennis player to do so.?It was great to get that seventh Olympics, he added. It was fantastic to have the record of most Olympics for any tennis player. It was a dream come true. If you had asked me after my third Olympics if I would be there for the 4th, I would probably say youre crazy.But then doing the fifth, the sixth, the seventh - Im a very blessed man. Just a very, very blessed man. Pretty happy with my career as anyone would be if they were in my shoes.Paes, who still has the passion for tennis, believes, he now has to help inspire others, and become?an example for the younger generation.?Ive had a big career. Really long, really big. I just play because I love tennis, he said. I feel like an ambassador for the game. I feel like in my own way, I can create dreams for young kids, or I can show other people that no matter how old you are that you can continue to persevere and have that resilience to get better every day, to bring the champion in you out every day.I mean look how hard our jobs are. Its a tough economy anywhere in the world. The worlds going through a tough time right now.?But we can create something for people to have a faith, and a belief. ' ' '
