Bhupathi to partner Wesley Moody

Doubles ace Mahesh Bhupathi will partner South Africa's Wesley Moody at the Australian Open, the only Grand Slam to elude the Indian's title collection.

"I am planning to team up with Wesley Moody for the Australian Open," said Bhupathi, who combined with Martin Damm of Czech Republic at the US Open, where the pair crashed out in the men's doubles third round.

Moody is a rising talent in doubles and created history at Wimbledon this year when he partnered Stephen Huss to the title, thereby emerging the first ever qualifier to win a Slam.

But Bhupathi said he is unsure of teaming up with Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia, with whom he won the US Open mixed doubles.
