Good run by Rohan in mixed doubles for the time in grand slams I think. Hope he wins his first grand slam title tomorrow.

Good luck to Rohan in the GS mixed doubles finals!

This is only his second GS final, with the first coming in the Mens doubles in 2010 when the Indo-Pak express was derailed by the Bryan twins.

Excellent news - their opponents are unseeded as a pair, but both are very accomplished doubles players (ranked 27 & 33 in women's and men's doubles respectively), so probably will be a tough match.

Great opportunity for Rohan to finally win his first Slam title at 36.
Groenefeld has a couple of Mixed Doubles titles, but Farah has only made one Slam final previously (last year's Wimbledon Mixed doubles). So he will be the relatively fragile one.

Farah/Cabal (who DiPu beat in the final when they won their first ATP tour title in Bogota) are also in the Men's doubles semifinal at the FO.

Rohan Bopanna wins his first slam mainly because Farah could not win a single point(lost all 6) on his serve in the STB.
Congratulations To Bopanna & Dabrowski for their 1st slam title :dance:

The perennial under achiever has achieved something at last. Now for some more drama before Davis Cup.

Congrats to Rohan and Gabriela for their first grand slam title ... With this, Rohan-Gabriela gained revenge for a 2016 US Open quarter-finals loss at the hands of same opponents.

Congrats to Rohan (and Gabriela) for their respective first GS title! Overall, they cruised through the draw winning most of their matches in straights, and they held their nerve in the final...

Harrison and Venus who beat DiPu in a close match went on to win the title here out if nowhere. Hope DiPu have this kind of run soon.

Venus is the first player from New Zealand to win a grand slam title.
