Third seeds Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes will attempt to complete a career Grand Slam when they face off against four-time champions and top seeds Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan in Saturday’s Australian Open doubles final.
And can legendary men's team Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupati wind the clock back to when they were the dominant men's team and claim a career Grand Slam?
To do so they will have to defeat the team of this era, Bob and Mike Bryan, they are currently unbeaten in 17 straight matches at Melbourne Park and are an impressive 31-1 since claiming their first of four titles in 2006. They endured their only loss in 2008, when they fell to Bhupathi and Knowles in the quarter-finals.
The Bryans have a 9-8 record in major finals, while Bhupathi and Paes – who are teaming up in Grand Slam competition for the first time since the 2002 Australian Open – share a 3-2 mark.
Prediction: The Indian-Express in the three tough-fought sets.
Bryans played “the perfect match.”...why can't we?!
