Sania and Bhupathi had an easier time than they may have expected. Ram was broken in the opening game and from then on there was nothing the French-Israeli pair could do to stop the Indians. Two more breaks, in the seventh and ninth games, and Sania and Bhupathi had the first set in their bag in 28 minutes.

The second set too was one-sided. Bhupathi kicked it off, winning at love. Then a break on Dechy's serve put the Indians high in the saddle at 3-1. Another break off Ram's serve and the Indians were cruising at 5-1.

Sania completed the formalities by serving out the seventh game for the set and match in 54 minutes.
