Thus, india comfirms it's participation in both men's(somdev) and women's(sania) singles and men's doubles(paes and bhupathi) in Australian Open 2011. I hope for some good results going forward.

Here is a snippet about the match from Australian Open 2011:
"In a match almost entirely made up of short and sharp rallies, Mirza's awesome power shone through. After a close start, the Indian elevated her tennis, swiftly taking a 5-2 lead, and promptly closed out the following game to take the set. Opening the second set with a trademark cross court forehand winner, Mirza oozed confidence off her more lethal wing.


She wasted little time in between points, badgering herself for the occasional miss but getting on with the task at hand without difficulty. Her only hiccup came when her opponent broke back at 4-1 in the second, which momentarily stemmed the flow of games for the talented Indian. A third round loser only to Serena Williams at Australian Open 2005, Mirza's experience was on display when she held her nerve to go ahead 5-3. A game later, she was into the main draw of the Australian Open for the seventh time. While it remains uncertain whom Mirza will face in the opening round of the Open, one thing is certain: she will continue to go after her forehand relentlessly."
