Tennis: Paes, Bhupathi inspired by World Cup

MIAMI: Indian doubles stars Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes said their Miami Masters triumph was inspired by watching their country’s World Cup win over Sri Lanka.

They watched the final on a live stream before going on court to defeat Max Mirnyi and Daniel Nestor 6-7 (5/7), 6-2, 10-5. “It gave us extra motivation. It’s a big deal for our country and kudos to the whole team,” said Bhupathi.
