By then Bhupathi had formed a formidable doubles pairing with compatriot Leander Paes.
After winning 13 titles together and losing the 1999 Australian Open final to Jonas Bjorkman and Patrick Rafter, the 'Indian Express' duo struck gold at the French Open that year.

The dup crushed Goran Ivanisevic and Jeff Tarango 6-2, 7-5 to win their first major and carried forward the form to pocket the Wimbledon title two weeks later, this time at the expense of Jared Palmer and Paul Haarhuis.
A couple of years later the duo returned to repeat their success at Roland Garros, beating the Czech pair Petr P�la and Pavel V�zner 7-6, 6-3.
That happened to be the third and last doubles title for the famed duo.
