Tennis: Bhupathi And Mirza Win Australian Open Mixed Doubles Title

February 3rd 2009 06:10
Category: Tennis
India's Mahesh Bhupathi bounced back from his men's doubles final defeat to team with fellow Indian Sania Mirza to win the Australian Open mixed doubles title at Melbourne Park on Sunday.

Bhupathi and Mirza were clinical in disposing of Frenchwoman Nathalie Dechy and Israel's Andy Ram 6-3 6-1 in 55 minutes on Rod Laver Arena to seal their maiden mixed doubles title as a team.

It is 34-year-old Bhupathi's 11th grand slam doubles title, seven of which have come in mixed.

It made amends for his defeat on Saturday when he and Mark Knowles of the Bahamas lost to Americans Bob and Mike Bryan in the men's doubles final.

Bhupathi and 22-year-old Mirza broke Dechy's serve in the opening set, then broke their rivals twice in the second - Bhupathi dominant at the net throughout. =
