Leander Paes On The Verge Of Making History Again But Sania Mirza Stands In His Way


Leander Paes inched closer towards completing a 'Career Slam' in Mixed Doubles -- winning all four Grand Slams over the course of a career -- but he finds compatriot Sania Mirza in his way as the two Indian players reached the finals of the French Open with their respective partners. Paes, who is incredibly continuing to play at the highest level into his 40s, already has the 'Career Slam' in Men's Doubles! Playing their semi-finals simultaneously, the pair of pairs raked up equally tough wins to set up a marquee clash in the final. While Paes and Hingis overcame the challenge of Andrea Hlavackova and Edouard Roger-Vasselin 6-3, 3-6, 10-7, Mirza and partner Ivan Dodig beat French pairing of Kristina Mladenovic and Pierre-Hugues Herbert 4-6, 6-3, 12-10.
