Asian Games tennis row deepens as AITA rebuts SAI's omission allegation

The All India Tennis Association (AITA) has rejected claims it failed to submit the names of excluded Asian Games tennis players to the IOA, with TimesofIndia.com accessing a July 3 letter seeking their inclusion. AITA argued event-specific selections would maximise medal prospects, but the Sports Ministry has stood by its strict Asia-ranking criteria despite criticism from ex-player Rohan Bopanna.
