Bhupathi not to sure when Sania can play alongside him

Doubles specialist Mahesh Bhupathi today said he did not want to put undue pressure on the matter of playing with young tennis talent Sania Mirza in the mixed doubles.

"This (pairing up with Sania) is something we don't prefer to put pressure on. When it's supposed to happen, it will happen," Bhupathi told PTI.

When it was pointed out that in the past he had indicated to play alongside her after the teenager breaks into top 50 and now she was in top 30s, he said "There is still some possibility. I know her ranking; I am her manager".

"It (pairing up with Sania) could happen in Australia (Australian Open); it could happen in 2008. I am not going to put a time-frame to it. When we are ready to play, we will play," he added.
