Knowles and Mahesh win 1st title

Top seeds Mark Knowles and Mahesh Bhupathi captured their first ATP title together at the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships in Memphis as they defeated Thai twins Sanchai and Sonchat Ratiwatana 7-6(5), 6-2 in one hour and 16 minutes. Bhupathi-Knowles, won their first tournament together as a team. The title was Knowles' 48th career crown. Congrats to Mark. In looking at the schedule, it looks like a week at home for Mark to be with Dawn and Graham. The following week, things will pick back up at the big tour stop in Indian Wells. If you are heading south, make sure to give Mark, Sam Warburg, and Nicole Vaidisova a "Go Caps". They always appreciate the support from the Caps fans. Elena is skipping the event at Indian Wells this year, but we will see her down in Miami. She is playing a limited schedule this year. Michelle will also be playing in Miami and trying to defend her first round victory points that she gathered by defeating Megan Shaunessy....On another note, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova said hi to all the Caps fans. She is still playing a few junior events. Her ranking is in the 300s. She is looking to move up by getting into more pro tournaments all the time.
