New Delhi, Aug 23: The Union Sports Minister Vikram Verma today wished Indian tennis ace Leander Paes, who is admitted at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Orlando, a speedy recovery so that he can resume playing tennis ''with more vigour and spirit”.' ''It is very sad to hear that you have been admitted in Orlando Regional Medical Center in Florida. I pray the almighty for your early convalescence and give strength to you and your family. The nation joins me to wish you an early recovery and resume your sport with more spirit and vigour,'' Verma said in his message. Paes, who won the mixed doubles with Martina Navratilova at the Wimbledon last month, went to a local hospital near his home in Orlando on Sunday after suffering severe headaches, the Anderson Center said on its website. Paes developed the problem while he was playing a tournament in Ohio. He showed symptoms of cold, low fever coupled with vision problems and acute headache. He was treated for dehydration initially.
But when the headache persisted, he was admitted to the Orlando Medical Research Institute where an MRI scan revealed the cyst. Bureau Report
