Mahesh Bhupathi is a retired professional tennis player. In 1997, he became the first Indian to win a Grand Slam tournament. During his playing career, Bhupathi was one of the most dominant doubles players in the sport’s history. He won four men’s doubles and eight mixed doubles Grand Slam titles. Known for his enormous serve, Roger Federer calls Bhupathi one of the best players of all time.

In 2001, the duo won the French Open for the third time.
