Australian Open Winners Sania Mirza and Mahesh Bhupathi will play with different partners at the mixed doubles event of the US Open. Sania will pair with Canada’s Daniel Nestor while Bhupathi has teamed up with America’s Liezel Huber.
This is because of Sania’s wrist injury. It has been hurting on and off over the last few weeks and she not sure whether she would play the mixed doubles event. Thus she decided at the last moment after gauging the condition of her injury.
Under these circumstances, they thought it would not be fair on Mahesh as he could end up missing out on the event if Sania was forced to back out at the last moment. Sania and Nestor are unseeded while Bhupathi – Huber are the top seeds. Defending champions, India’s Leander Paes and Zimbabwe’s Cara Black are second seeds.
