and we have an all-India final! So many heart in the mouth moments!! But we prevailed! 

[Suneet 16]

What a day at Roland Garros for India! After bowing out of the men's doubles yesterday, we won 4 matches in total to have at least one Indian winning the mixed doubles title. So much of encouragement for the Olympics as well! 

 

Also Karman Thandi won her girls doubles round 2 match 

[Suneet 16]

tomorrow is the mixed doubles final. Should be after 9pm IST. Depends on the preceding matches.

Magnificent day in Paris !!!

 

2 quarters and 2 semis, 4 wins out of 4, and another grand slam assured !!! 

 

So who will everyone be supporting ?? Sania or Paes ?? Am myself leaning towars Paes simply because French Open mixed is the only title missing from his grand slam kitty !!!

[Suneet 16]

I will be supporting Paes as well simply because I love him more 

 

A win for him should end all debates about who should partner Sania at the Olympics.

What a man! So proud!

I'll be supporting Lee for the same reason. This is the only title that has been eluding him in completing mixed career slam. If he wins, he will become one of those few players who have completed career slam in both doubles and mixed doubles. One more reason for supporting his team is his partner  Martina Hingis is pure class! 

 

And if Sania wins, I wont be any less happy. I am huge fan of her. So basically its a win-win
