Answer: A

The first Indian to win a Grand Slam title was Mahesh Bhupati (Bhupathi).

Mahesh Bhupathi won the mixed doubles at the 1997 French Open with Rika Hiraki of Japan, the first Grand Slam title won by an Indian. He went on to win several more in doubles and mixed doubles.

Leander Paes won his first Grand Slam title, the French Open men's doubles with Bhupathi, in 1999. Sania Mirza's first Grand Slam title came in 2009. Ramanathan Krishnan reached two Wimbledon singles semi-finals (1960 and 1961) but never won a Grand Slam event.
