Paes and Bhupati to clash in third round
Indian tennis stars Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi, who won the Wimbledon title men's double event in 1999, will clash with each other in the third round of the mixed double event of the Wimbledon championship on Monday.
The 13th seeded pair of Bhupathi and India's Sania Mirza defeated British pair of Colin Fleming and Sarah Borwell in straight sets by 7-6 (4), 6-4 in the second round of Wimbledon championship on Saturday.
Paes and his Zimbabwean partner Cara Black, the top seeded pair, had received a bye in the first round as they had won the US Open mixed doubles title last year, while in the second round they got a walkover from Slovakian Michal Mertinak and Italian Mara Santangelo to advance to the third round.
Bhuapti will also meet with another Indian on Monday, as he and Mark Knowles of the Bahamas will play against India's Prakash Amritraj and Pakistan's Aisam-ul Haq Qureshi in the third round of the men's doubles event of the Wimbledon championship.
