Divij/Aoyama have won the first set 6-2 against Srebotnik/Gonzalez. Impressive! 2-2 now in the second set.

Bopanna’s clobbering was a surprise.
Divij/Aoyama seemed to have collapsed from the moment I stopped following (as I had to join the family at dinner!). It was 3-3 in the second set, and it ended rather abruptly thereafter...

Time for Bopanna to retire.

Raw deal for Divij. I think he can find a better partner who will allow him to go deep into a slam. You can't dabble in doubles and go deep with all the hot pairings out there.

Divij will do good with a reliable doubles specialist as a partner.

[PKBasu]

Time for Bopanna to retire.

Rohan Bopanna is still alive in the men's doubles here! He and Roger-Vasselin (13th seeds) play the top seeded Melo/Kubot in the last-16 -- starting in about an hour from now.

Really good win against top-seed ... Next, they r facing 8th seed Peya and Mektic in the quarters.

If it's going to produce such fab results I want people to ask him to retire everyday for the next week!

[rajitghosh]

Ok he can retire after the 2020 Olympics soap opera. .
