Rhea Pillai, who began dating tennis player Leander Paes in 2003 and had a daughter, Aiyana, with him in 2005, opened up years later about how strained their bond had become.  By 2012, things had reportedly deteriorated to the point of no return, and their legal conflict became public in 2014 when Rhea accused Leander and his father of emotional, mental, and physical abuse.

An inch either way and the Netherlands would have been world champions. Instead, Argentina lifted the trophy on home soil, and Dutch football was left to contemplate, again, the particular cruelty of almost. They had done it four years earlier too, against West Germany, inventing the future of the sport and losing the tournament. Total Football, Johan Cruyff, the spinning orange: a revolution that changed everything except the scoreline. Going into the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Netherlands remain the only nation to have appeared in three finals without winning one. They have also, in the years between, failed to qualify for tournaments entirely, oscillating between revelation and invisibility as if one were the price of the other. What makes this edition different is not what this team has. It is what it doesn’t. No Cruyff bending games to his will. No Bergkamp, that still-point in a moving …
