Rohan played against Denises one of whom is Shapalov ? That’s really weird. Or, maybe not as he is playing with his first choice partner.

[jayakris]

^^^ That is pro denis, man... I mean, tennis.

Doubles have basically become a super-tiebreaker game. Just play a super-tiebreaker and get done with it. Why waste time with sets?

[sameerph]

For the third week running, Rohan runs into Denis in first round and this time Denis prevails.

At ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati, USA

[R1] Rohan Bopanna (IND) / Matwe Middlelkoop (NED) l. Denis Shapovalov (CAN)/ Karen Khachanov (RUS) 67(6) 76(12) 6-10

Another one which went to super tie break. As Jay said, 80% of the doubles matches seem to be going to super tiebreak.

Well they have to do an intense warm up before the super tie break
