Cricketics Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Yuki bhambri has been given the wirld card to play in qualifying rounds because he was the Juniors Australian open last year. Somdev is alsy playing qualifying rounds and so is Prakash Amritraj. Doubles hope would be again on Leander and Dlouhy team and then there would be Bhupathi-Mirnyi team making a come back again. Some good news for Mirza fans. She has teamed up with Virgina pascual, who has won 10 doubles grandslams already. Sania has a good chance in both mixed and womens doubles. I hope that we will see rise of Indian players in Singles. We have 3 players in singles event as you can see - Yuki Bhambri, Somdev and Prakash Qualifying rounds start on 13th, that is tonight acc to usa time.

You know how many Indians are featuring int his Aussie Open??? Sania Mirza in Singles, Doubles and Mixed doubles. Leander in doubles and mixed doubles. Bhupathi in doubles and mixed doubles. Rohan Bopanna in mens doubles. If Prakash and Somdev are able to win their remaining qualifying games, then they will play in Main rounds of Australian Open.
