Rohan Bopanna thread...

Close close loss for Bops.

At ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo, Monaco

[SF] Rohan Bopanna (IND) / Jamie Murray (GBR) l. (1) Rajeev Ram (USA) / Joe Salisbury (USA) 63 67(4) 9-11

Anyway this run means Rohan will move up inside top 25 for the first time since July 2018. He is having a great year so far, started with a ranking of 43 and is now #25 in live rankings.

This week Rohan played with new partner and lost in first round.

At Belgrade ATP 250

[R1] Rohan Bopanna (IND) / Matwe Middlelkoop (NED) l. (WC) Ivan Sabanov (SRB) / Matej Sabanov (SRB) 36 76(2) 6-10

Rohan did not need to play this week at much lower level after the great run in Monte Carlo this week but I guess he played because he is anyway in Europe.

Next week, he will be back with Shapovalov in Mardrid Masters.

Madrid Masters is taking place next week, I was mistaken. This week Rohan is continuing with same partner as last week and this time they started with a confirmable win in first round.

That’s a let down of sorts.
