Whole system is wrong in doubles, need complete overhaul: Jwala

Doubles ace Jwala Gutta is disappointed with the dearth of quality women players in doubles and mixed doubles, asking for a complete systemic overhaul in order to generate results at the international level.

"I can't think of one doubles players with whom I want to play today. I am in the junior selection panel. I see the list of players, what I think is we need a complete overhaul in doubles. We need a different ecosystem for doubles, that how doubles will come up," Jwala said after announcing the launch of Jwala Gutta Academy of Excellence.

"Doubles doesn't need a coach right now. Doubles need a correction in the administration in doubles. The whole system is wrong in doubles now.

"First of all, people are not being educated about the importance of doubles. I feel sad that even the doubles players don't speak about it. Doubles players achievement need to be highlighted."
"When I stopped playing, you tried to put me down. So I was not there last two years so what have you done?
"So don't you think I was right all this while? Don't you think I have the credential to lead and head the doubles today but certain people don't want me."
"Before I have attended camps at many places such as Bangalore, Jalandhar, and after 2006, it has only been happening at the Gopichand academy in Hyderabad. I had no problems since I live there, but it is not fair. Why camps only in Hyderabad?
