Mirnyi, Bhupathi to team up in 2010

London : Max Mirnyi will team up with India's Mahesh Bhupathi at the end of this week's Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.

Mirnyi announced that he and Andy Ram have decided to end their doubles partnership. Mirnyi and Ram made their first appearance together in this year-end tournament following wins against the Bryan twins from the US and a second one against Dlouhy and Paes on Friday.

The pair had a pretty decent 2009 season reaching three ATP World Tour Masters 1000 finals to qualify for this season finale. After falling to Bhupathi/Knowles in the semifinals of the US Open they teamed up just once, and lost in the first round in Shanghai last month.

Despite this they have decided to go their separate ways for 2010. "I'm gonna spend some time with Mahesh Bhupathi as he and Knowles are not playing together after this tournament. So him and I are going to play some tournaments, though we are not sure which these tournaments are," Mirnyi said.
