Mahesh Bhupathi made it two finals out of two, after Sania Mirza and he made quick work of the Czech pairing of Iveta Benesova and Lukas Dlouhy 6-4, 6-1 to advance to the mixed doubles final.

Ace tennis star Mahesh Bhupathi on Thursday tipped Prakash Amritraj and new kid on the block Somdev Devvarman as ideal players for India’s upcoming Davis Cup tie in Romania.

“I feel Prakash and Somdev would be ideal players for the tie to be played on clay court,” Bhupathi said.

NEW DELHI: Deflecting volleys is what Mahesh Bhupathi does for a living. If he’s not occupied with putting the fuzzy, yellow ball on the other side of the net, off the court he’s busy fending off verbal lobs, good humouredly.

Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi are trying to be fourth-time lucky in the Olympic Games.

“We had a very good work-out. The preparation has been great. Both of us reached the semifinals of Cincinnatti. We would have trained in Los Angeles only if we had not done well in the last tournament.
