Rohan Bopanna, the world's fourth-ranked doubles player, is eagerly anticipating the upcoming French Open. The tournament holds special significance for him as it will be played at Roland-Garros, the venue for the Paris Olympics in 2024. Bopanna, who will be competing in the men's doubles category, is determined to make a strong showing.
Despite a subpar clay-court season so far, Bopanna remains optimistic. He believes that the last three Grand Slams, where he reached the semifinals at Wimbledon, the final at the US Open, and won the Australian Open, have instilled confidence in him and his partner, Matthew Ebden.
Bopanna acknowledges that clay is not their strongest surface, but he and Ebden are adapting and enjoying the challenge. They are confident in their abilities, having won a Grand Slam on clay (French Open 2017, mixed doubles) and Masters 1000s at Madrid (2015) and Monte Carlo (2017).
The upcoming French Open will also mark a milestone for Indian tennis. For the second consecutive Slam, India will have representation in both doubles and singles, with Sumit Nagal qualifying directly into the main draw. Bopanna believes this is a significant boost for the sport in India.
