For India, Sania Mirza will be the flag-bearer in singles but the country has a lot at stake in the men's doubles event as well with an unprecedented five players competing in the main draw of the Wimbledon. Sania will be playing in her first Grand Slam after tying the knot with Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik. Her first round rival will be world number 55 Angelique Kerber of Germany. Only twice, Sania has reached the third round of a Grand Slam in her last 14 appearances. On the other side, although both Somdev Devvarman and Prakash Amritraj could not qualify for the singles main draw, some good results are expected in doubles. India has struggled in the last decade or so to look beyond estranged partners Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi but the recent rise of Somdev and the fast improving Rohan Bopanna has given many a memorable moments to the Indian fans. Now Harsh Mankad has also joined the bandwagon by qualifying for a Grand Slam for the first time in his career. The draw has been a little harsh for Somdev and Bopanna as it will be end of road for one of them at the very first round since they are pitted against each other. Both Paes and Bhupathi are eyeing their 12th Grand Slam title and the latter would be desperate to end his eight-year old title drought in the men's doubles. Bhupathi has not won a men's doubles trophy since winning the US Open in 2002 and his bulging Grand Slam kitty is more because of seven mixed doubles titles. Paes has been more consistent and considering his form and chemistry with Czech Lukas Dlouhy, another title is well within his reach. They had ended runners-up at Roland Garros and in the build up event also, they reached the final in The Netherlands. Bopanna and his Pakistani partner Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi have improved a lot as a team and can give any good team a run for their money. It will be tough for Somdev and Treat Conrad Huey to stop the Indo-Pak Express. Mankad is paired with Serbia's Ilija Bozoljac and it will be a good learning opportunity for the duo.
