The Indian tennis duo of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi became the first Indian men's doubles pair to win a Grand Slam title at the French Open on June 6, 1999. Playing as the top seeds in the tournament, the Indian pair defeated the unseeded Croatian-American duo of Goran Ivanišević and Jeff Tarango 6-2, 7-5 in a rain-hit final match.
