Mahesh Bhupathi
Encyclopedia
Mahesh Shrinivas Bhupathi (born 7 June 1974 in Madras) is an Indian professional tennis player widely regarded as among the best doubles players in the world with 11 Grand Slam titles to his credit. In 1997, he became the first Indian to win a Grand Slam tournament (with Rika Hiraki
). With his win at the Australian Open mixed doubles in 2006, he joined the elite group of eight tennis players who have achieved a career Grand Slam in mixed doubles.
Mahesh Bhupathi is best known as one of the top doubles players in the '90s and '00s. In 1999, Bhupathi won three doubles titles with Leander Paes
, including Roland Garros and Wimbledon. He and Leander became the first doubles team to reach the finals of all four Grand Slam
s, the first time such a feat has been achieved in the open era and the first time since 1952. On 26 April of that year, they became the world no. 1 doubles team. Bhupathi also won the US Open mixed doubles with Ai Sugiyama
of Japan.
In 2006, Bhupathi teamed with Martina Hingis
in the Australian Open mixed doubles competition. Entering the tournament unseeded and as wildcards, the first-time pair defeated four seeded opponents along the way, while only dropping a single set throughout. Bhupathi and Hingis defeated the sixth-seeded team of Daniel Nestor
and Elena Likhovtseva
in straight sets, 6–3, 6–3, to capture the championship. It was the sixth mixed doubles Grand Slam for Bhupathi, and a first for Hingis. By winning the Australian Open, Bhupathi completed a career Grand Slam in mixed doubles.
In 2007, Bhupathi and Czech
Radek Štěpánek
reached the 2007 Australian Open
men's doubles event's quarterfinals. He teamed with Štěpánek at the 2007 French Open
to make the doubles semifinals, defeating two-year defending champions Jonas Björkman
and Max Mirnyi
in the quarterfinals. The team lost to the eventual champions Mark Knowles
and Daniel Nestor
. After Wimbledon
, Bhupathi teamed with Pavel Vízner
to win the 2007 Canada Masters
, defeating the top-ranked doubles team Bob
and Mike Bryan
en route. After this victory, he won a tournament in New Haven
with Nenad Zimonjić
. At the 2007 US Open, he and Zimonjić paired in doubles. After the US Open, the team that beat Bhupathi and Štěpánek in the French Open semifinals, Knowles and Nestor, split up. Bhupathi became Knowles' partner, while Zimonjić became Nestor's, but back surgery mean he was out until the end of the year.
In 2009, Bhupathi and doubles partner Sania Mirza
won the mixed doubles title at the Australian Open, beating Nathalie Dechy
(France) and Andy Ram
(Israel), 6–3, 6–1, in the final. The ace Indian pair thus made up for the disappointment of the previous year's final when they were beaten by Tiantian Sun and Nenad Zimonjić
. With this win, Bhupathi's count in mixed doubles Grand Slam titles increased to seven.
Bhupathi broke up his partnership with Knowles and began playing once again with Max Mirnyi
, with whom he played to win the 2002 US Open. In 2011, Bhupathi reunited with former playing partner Leander Paes
for the 2011 Australian Open
. The team of Bhupathi and Paes reached the final, but lost, 3–6, 4–6, to the Bryan brothers.
In 2011, they appeared, for the first time since 2002, after securing qualification in mid-October.
Bhupathi played at the year-end championships with Paes from 1997-2000 and in 2002, reaching three finals. In 1997, they lost the final to Rick Leach
and Jonathan Stark
. They lost the 1999 final to Sébastien Lareau
and Alex O’Brien. In 2000, they lost the final to Donald Johnson

as well as other international fixtures including Asian Games
.
Mahesh Bhupathi has played 46 matches for India in the Davis Cup (from 1995 to 2006), winning 28 and losing 18. Out of the 28 matches that he won, 20 of his victories came in doubles matches.
In 2006, Bhupathi won the doubles championship with Leander Paes at the Asian Games in Doha.
.
In 2001, he was awarded the Padma Shri
, one of India's highest civilian awards. Bhupathi is an alumnus of the University of Mississippi
in the United States. He was married to model Shvetha Jaishankar, but they divorced after being married for seven years.
He then married Lara Dutta
, Miss Universe
of 2000 in a Civil Ceremony on 16 February 2011 at Bandra, Mumbai
And later followed by a Christian Ceremony on 20 February 2011 at Sunset Point in Goa
On 1 August 2011 Lara confirmed that she is pregnant with their first child. Their son is due in late January.
and Mahesh Bhupathi has fluctuated, turning from great to bad to worse. The two forged a formidable partnership in the late 90s and steeply climbed the ladder of the doubles rankings. They played so well as a team that it prompted the then top Australian doubles pair of Mark Woodforde
and Todd Woodbridge
(known as the Woodies) to predict that Bhupathi and Paes would take their place in tennis doubles after they left the scene. Together with Paes, Bhupathi featured in several memorable Grand Slam matches, Olympic matches, and Davis Cup matches for India. From such a high, the relationship between the pair gradually deteriorated and reached a point of no communication. The exact cause or causes for the rift have never been known so far, though various factors like ego clashes and each player garnering more attention than the other have been rumoured over the years. Just after winning the 2006 Asian games, both players announced that they would never play again together. In spite of the cold relationship between them, they decided to play together in the Beijing 2008 Olympics for a possible medal chance in the doubles event. Bhupathi had initially shot a letter to the AITA stating that he did not want to play with Paes in the Olympic Games, preferring Bopanna instead as his partner.
Bhupathi had said, "Leander and I are best option for India but we need to go with some kind of preparation. We need to build a team. It's not about past performances. Rohan Bopanna and I are better prepared as a team", The AITA responded by saying that it would not change the doubles team pairing and that it was up to Paes and Bhupathi to ensure that the differences between them did not come in the way of national glory. (Reuters) However, Bhupathi and Paes decided to once again form a doubles pair, and entered the 2008 Ordina Open
together as second seed. They finished as runners up in their comeback tournament. They partnered in the men's doubles event at the 2008 Summer Olympics
in Beijing, but lost the quarterfinals
to Roger Federer
and Stanislas Wawrinka
of Switzerland, who went on to win the gold medal.
Leander and Mahesh decided to team up again at the Australian Open 2011, ending a nine-year separation on the ATP circuit. They reached the finals of the event but lost to American twins Bob and Mike Bryan
. Paes has stated that the best thing has been to have their friendship back.

(known as the Woodies) to predict that Bhupathi and Paes would take their place in tennis doubles after they left the scene. Together with Paes, Bhupathi featured in several memorable Grand Slam matches, Olympic matches, and Davis Cup matches for India. From such a high, the relationship between the pair gradually deteriorated and reached a point of no communication. The exact cause or causes for the rift have never been known so far, though various factors like ego clashes and each player garnering more attention than the other have been rumoured over the years. Just after winning the 2006 Asian games, both players announced that they would never play again together. In spite of the cold relationship between them, they decided to play together in the Beijing 2008 Olympics for a possible medal chance in the doubles event. Bhupathi had initially shot a letter to the AITA stating that he did not want to play with Paes in the Olympic Games, preferring Bopanna instead as his partner.
Bhupathi had said, "Leander and I are best option for India but we need to go with some kind of preparation. We need to build a team. It's not about past performances. Rohan Bopanna and I are better prepared as a team", The AITA responded by saying that it would not change the doubles team pairing and that it was up to Paes and Bhupathi to ensure that the differences between them did not come in the way of national glory. (Reuters) However, Bhupathi and Paes decided to once again form a doubles pair, and entered the 2008 Ordina Open
