Paes, Bhupathi win Toronto Masters doubles
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi marked their reunion after a gap of more than two years by winning the doubles title at the $2.5 million ATP Tennis Masters Series in Toronto, Canada, last night.
Paes and Bhupathi, world number one pair at their peak in 1999 when they won the French Open and Wimbledon titles, defeated Jonas Bjorkman of Sweden and Belarussian Max Mirnyi 6-4 6-2 in the final.
The Toronto win gives the duo 500 ATP points each and will push Paes up to Number 20 on the Doubles Entry ranking. Bhupathi's ranking will stay at his current Number 5. (PTI) <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This doth bode well for our Olympic hopes.
