India’s Mahesh Bhupathi announces that he and Leander Paes will team up again next year.
“The Indian Express rolls again at the Aussie Open next year. Our first slam in 9 years,” Bhupathi announced on Twitter.
One of the most successful duos in Indian history when they paired up from 1997-2002 and won three Grand Slams together, the two were at odds on and off afterward, frequently feuding about Davis Cup. But they teamed up again in Davis Cup this year and have mended fences.
The 37-year-old Paes played with Lukas Dlouhy much of this year, while the 36-year-old Bhupathi has been teaming with Max Mirnyi.—Matthew Cronin
