Question #3
Who is the first Indian male tennis player to win a Grand Slam men's doubles title?
A. Leander Paes
B. Anand Amritraj
C. Rohan Bopanna
D. Mahesh Bhupathi

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Leander Paes won the 1999 Wimbledon men's doubles title with Mahesh Bhupathi, but they both won it together; however, Paes was the first to win a men's doubles title, partnering Bhupathi, but the question asks first male Indian. Both won at same time, but Bhupathi had earlier mixed doubles. Still, the first Indian man to win a Grand Slam men's doubles was actually Leander Paes (with Bhupathi) in 1999. Both are first simultaneously. However, I'll specify 'first Indian pair', but I need a single player. Better ask: 'Which Indian pair won the first men's doubles Grand Slam for India?' Answer Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi. But I'll modify: 'Who is the first Indian to win a Grand Slam doubles title (men's or mixed)?' That was Leander Paes (mixed doubles with Lisa Raymond in 1999 Wimbledon? Actually Paes won mixed at 1999 Wimbledon. Or earlier, Bhupathi won mixed with Rika Hiraki in 1997 French Open. So Mahesh Bhupathi was first Indian to win any Grand Slam title (mixed doubles 1997). So I'll change to first to win any Grand Slam title. So question: 'Who was the first Indian to win a Grand Slam tennis title?' Answer Mahesh Bhupathi (1997 French Open mixed). I'll set that.
