Bhupathi's babes

When it comes to playing mixed doubles, tennis ace Mahesh Bhupathi clearly loves trying out partners. It's probably a good strategy too, considering he has won five mixed doubles championships with five different partners.

This year's player is Martina Hingis - his fourteenth partner in 10 years of Grand Slam play.

Bhupathi has, since 1997, played with Elena Likhovtseva the longest (10 events). He has partnered with Al Sugiyama 4 times, Mirjana Lucic and Lisa Raymond 3 times, twice with Rika Hiraki and once each with Martina Navratilova, Daniela Hantuchova, Mary Pierce, Rennae Stubbs and Annabel Ellwood.

rediff.com takes a look at these and Bhupathi's other partners.
