Second shot. "There are three other teams too in the fray. I wouldn't say any of them are easy, so I wouldn't like to say that we have easy matches."
If there is Bhupathi then Leander Paes has to be in the picture somewhere. "Leander and me will have to play together if we want to win the Commonwealth Games gold. Rohan will partner someone else and hopefully we will beat them along the way," laughed Bhupathi. Turning his attention to the Australian Open, he said: "It's the one trophy missing from my cabinet. Last year with Mark Knowles I came so close. I would love to accomplish the feat this time," professed the Banglorean.
For the record, Bhupathi and Bopanna, the No 3 seeds, downed J Verretani-T Rettenmaier 6-3 7-6 (5) in the first round of the $400,000 Aircel Chennai Open.
