Doubles player Rohan Bopanna, who failed to make the cut for the Tokyo Olympics along with Divij Sharan because of their low combined rank, on Monday accused the All India Tennis Association (AITA) of misleading everyone by claiming it had changed the combination by pairing him with Sumit Nagal for a shot at qualification.

The AITA hit back at Bopanna by saying that it only tried to help him since he could not qualify on his own. The AITA had announced the nomination of Bopanna and Sharan for the men’s doubles event.
