Reader Viju Kulkarni Patil sent us this picture from the USA.
'I live in Cincinnati, OH, USA from past 10 years. Cincinnati hosts ATP Master's series and I have been a regular visitor to those matches. I spotted Mahesh Bhupathi on July 28th 2008,' writes Viju.
'I was very exicited to shake hands with him and wish him good luck! I also mentioned that we are very keen on making our son a tennis player too for which he replied, 'That's great! and said Best of Luck!' while looking at my son Abhay Patil. (as you see in the picture)'
Thank you, Viju, for sharing this picture!
