New Delhi, Jan 28 (IANS) She may not be a tennis freak, but Bollywood beauty Lara Dutta is sincerely hoping that her fiance Mahesh Bhupathi wins the men's doubles Australian Open with his partner Leander Paes Sunday.

"So proud of Lee & Hesh!!! Praying for a win! The only Grandslam title they haven't won together... YET!!! C'monnnnn Boys!!! (sic)," Lara posted on her Twitter page following Paes-Bhupathi's entry into the Australian Open final Thurdsay.

The two tennis players made for a former World No.1 pair, and have won three Grand Slams together -- Wimbledon (1999) and two French Open titles (1999, 2001). They are now playing a Grand Slam together after nine years.

Bhupathi will be tying the knot with Lara Feb 19. The duo got engaged in New York in September.
