Paes says not yet decided when to retire

Veteran Indian tennis player Leander Paes Saturday said that he's enjoying his game and yet to decide on when to call it quits.

"How long am I going to play? As long as I enjoy it. Will I retire by the end of the year? I don't know, we will see it at the end of the year," Paes said when asked about the road ahead for him.

"As far I am concerned, I am still enjoying my tennis. Now, I have achieved everything that's there to achieve. I don't have anything to prove to anybody out there," said the 45-year-old multiple Grand Slam winner.

Paes admitted that the last few years have been tough for him but said he was playing on his own terms.

"I love my tennis, I have been playing for that many years. I hope I have brought happiness to people over the years. Now, I am playing because I enjoy it and I am playing it on my terms. I think the last few years have been very tough both on and off the court. For me, tennis brings a lot of happiness," he said.

He said the new format of the Davis Cup was another attempt to popularise the game though he was not a big fan of it.

"The Davis Cup has evolved over the years so many times, they have tried to popularize Davis Cup (so that) more of the top players play. I think this (the newer format) is just one more attempt to actually popularize the game and put it in a concept where it's all happening within one week."
