One Indian sportsman sure has a way with women - international women at that. Slinking under Sania’s shadow Mahesh Bhupathi has won his second consecutive and fifth Grand Slam title when he along with Daniela Hantuchova (Slovakia) won the 2005 Mixed Doubles US Open championship.
"Bhupathi thus swelled his ‘mixed’ collection to five. He won his first in 1997 at the French Open with Rika Hiraki of Japan, the second at the 1999 US Open with Ai Sugiyama, also of Japan, the third in 2002 at Wimbledon with Elena Likhovtseva of Russia and the fourth with Pierce earlier this year."

I have heard that behind every successful man is a woman, but five? Now that is what I call a player :)

Very uncanny! I just wrote to all my friends ranting about how Bhupathi has been overshadowed by Sania Mirza et. al. Anyway, he’s actually won 9 grand slams including the current US Open and not 5! Oh! Sorry, 5 is right! I saw that you were talking only about the mixed doubles. :-)
