US Open Tennis, 2009



Hello Tennis fans,




It is India vs. India in the US open. Mahesh Bhuapthi and Leander Paes, wh o once formed the famous 'Indian Express' now clash against each other in the summit clash along with their respective partners.


Bhupathi and his Bahamian partner Mark Knowles, seeded third, eased into the final with a 6-4 6-2 semifinal win over fifth seeds Max Mirnyi of Belarus and Andy Ram of Israel.


Fourth seeds Paes and Czech Lukas Dlouhy upset top seeds Mike and Bob Bryan 6-3 3-6 7-6 (8-6) in the other semifinal.


This is a first in Indian Tennis history and the old warhorses, the several times written off champions are at the forefront.


Long live indian tennis.


With Somdev Devvarman and Sania Mirza already creating history by entering the second round of both men's and women's competition together for the first time, things are looking up for Indian tennis.


Way to go guys.




Best wishes,


Manoj
