Paes, Bhupathi clinch Miami Open Men's Doubles title

Veteran tennis players Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi have clinched the Miami Open Men's Doubles title in the United States. With the win, the duo also became number one in the ATP World Tour Doubles Team Rankings. Third seeded Bhupathi and Paes rallied to beat second seeded Belarusian-Canadian pair of Max Mirnyi and Daniel Nestor in three sets 6-7, 6-2, 10-5. Paes had won the title even last year with Lukas Dlouhy. The win takes the Indians ahead of World number one Bob and Mike Bryan for first place in the ATP Doubles Team Rankings and in the battle to qualify for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. It is Paes and Bhupathi's second team title of the year, following the Chennai Open at the start of the season.
