Paes wins the mixed doubles. Next up: the men's doubles championship.

Quoted: India's Leander Paes completed a career mixed doubles Grand Slam on Thursday, joining Zimbabwe's Cara Black to beat Britain's Jamie Murray and American Liezel Huber 7-6 (8/6), 6-4 in the US Open final.

Paes has reached both the men's doubles and mixed doubles finals at this year's US Open.

Quoted: Indian tennis star Leander Paes romped into the semifinals [Mohit - now finals] of the men's doubles and final of the mixed doubles of the US Open in New York. In the mixed doubles final Paes and Cara Black will take on Liezel Huber of US and Andy Murray of Britain

India gets a third medal -- for the first time ever in a single Olympics.

Quoted: one more medal hope!! now in boxing!! Vijender Kumar enters the semis of the 75kg boxing event in Beijing.

Vijender assures India of another Olympic medal : http://tinyurl.com/5qjyx3

Sushil Kumar (not to be confused with the boxers Vijender Kumar and Jitender Kumar who will be up later today or the boxer Akhil Kumar who is out) just won a bronze in wrestling. India's medal count is now at 2.

This is the first Olympics since 1952 that India has won more than one medal.

A third Indian boxer (also a Kumar?) has made the quarterfinals. All three each need one more win to at least get a bronze.

Quoted: Vijender Kumar became the third Indian boxer after Akhil Kumar and Jitender Kumar to enter the quartefinals at Beijing Olympics. Vijender beat Thai boxer Chompuphung in the 75kg Middleweight category.

Not looking too good, but it is still early.

Quoted: A slight drizzle, which grew in intensity, forced a stoppage in play after just 16 minutes during which Federer and Wawrinka broke the Indians once to run up a 4-1 lead.

They were once the best doubles team in the world, reaching all four grand slam finals in 1999. But, they're getting old now. Hope they can pull out a medal. So far so good, but their next match will be far more difficult (Federer-Wawrinka or Youzhny-somebody).

Quoted: Their impeccable on-court camaraderie betrayed no signs of a stormy past as Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi today inched closer to their first joint Olympic medal by reaching the quarter-finals of the men's doubles event here.

Raj Bhavsar's parents are from India.

Quoted: The last men standing included Kevin Tan, whose family is originally from China, and Raj Bhavsar, whose parents emigrated from the Gujarat region of India in the ’60s, and Sasha Artemev, who was born in Russia. And by some bizarre coincidence, these were the three best Americans on the pommel horse, the last of the six disciplines on Tuesday. Only in America.
