Indian tennis great Leander Paes might retire after the 2016 Rio Olympics if he does not perform well.

Leander's father Vece Paes said that the tennis star is quite focussed on qualifying and playing the Olympics next year and his future will depend on his performance at the mega sporting event.

"If he does well at the Olympics then there would be reason for him to play longer. If he does not do too well at the Olympics, then the chances are that he would probably retire," the elder Paes told IANS in an interview.
