Fresh from his victory at Flushing Meadows, Mahesh Bhupathi is now eyeing his 10th Grand Slam title before setting the next target for himself.

Slovakian Daniela Hantuchova and the Indian ace captured the mixed doubles title last Thursday at the US Open, defeating Katarina Srebotnik and Nenad Zimonjic 6-4, 6-2 in the final at Arthur Ashe stadium.

"Winning a Grand Slam is always special. I am happy to back with another title. Now I am one short of my target of 10 Grand Slam titles. Having come so close, it's on my mind now," Bhupathi said.

"Only after capturing the tenth title will I set myself any further goal."

Bhupathi is targeting the only Grand Slam title to elude him -- the Australian Open.

Recalling the chemistry between Hantuchova and himself, he said: "It was obviously good. We played good tennis and came back on a couple of occasions in the second and third rounds. We both enjoyed the game.

"She is a good partner and we developed a kind of understanding."

On India's latest tennis sensation Sania Mirza, he said: "She has reached a ranking of world No 34. It's been a great year for her and she has already left her mark in the world of women's tennis."

He, however, said there are no immediate plans to partner the Hyderabad lass in the mixed doubles though it is still a possibility.
