Dutch domination leaves Indian fans cheated
It was supposed to be a crowd puller, but ended up with the spectators making a hasty retreat to the exit doors.
Sania Mirza and Mahesh Bhupathi teamed up on a rare occasion, only to end up on the losers' side against former Wimbledon champion Richard Krajicek and sister Michaela.
Played under lights with mercury falling below seven, on the sidelines of the ABN Amro Tennis Challenge eight-player men's event, the result came as a dampner for the thousand and odd crowd who had waited through the chilly weather all evening.
Sania, nursing a lower back strain, had said in jest at the pre-event press conference that she would take it competitively if it was an India-Holland official tie.
But with Shikha Uberoi losing to Michaela and Bhupathi to Krajicek in the singles, it meant a 3-0 win for Holland.
