Davis Cup
No mercy was the theme of Team India when it took on the inexperienced Pakistan pair of Asim Shafik and Jalil Khan in the Davis Cup doubles of the Asia Oceania Group I tie at the Brabourne stadium on Saturday.
India's ace duo of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi (in the picture) crushed Khan-Shafik 6-2, 6-3, 6-1 in a little less than an hour-and-a-half to give India a 2-1 lead in the tie.
"Pakistan's captain had gone on record saying that India were 1-0 up because of our doubles combination. I thought they had lost the match even before they came to Mumbai," said Paes after the match.
