India tennis ace Leander Paes need not go hunting for a gift to present his three-year-old daughter Aiyana on his return to Mumbai after a successful Australia Open campaign.

The tournament organisers presented Leander and his Zimbabwean partner Cara Black with a cuddly each u2014 a Koala u2014 along with the trophy and prize-money after they beat Ekaterina Makarova and Jaroslav Levinsky in straight sets 7-5, 6-3 in Sunday's mixed doubles final.

And Leander can't wait to hand the little bear over to his little girl. "The Koala is definitely for Aiyana. She'll be very excited to have it. She won't let anyone else have it... not even her mum," Leander told MiD DAY
yesterday.
