Veteran Indian tennis player Rohan Bopanna announced that he will end his Davis Cup career in September. India is all set to host Morocco in two months for the prestigious event.
India's top doubles player, Bopanna made his Davis Cup debut in 2002 and has featured in 32 ties for the country. The long-time servant of Indian tennis has won 12 singles and 10 doubles matches.
The 43-year-old recently revealed to PTI that the upcoming Davis Cup tournament would be the last and expressed his desire to play at his home, Bengaluru.
Bopanna also revealed that he had decided to retire from Davis Cup a long time ago, and this season would be his last because India will be playing at home.
However, the venue for the match has already been decided by the All India Tennis Association (AITA), and they are unlikely to change it. Uttar Pradesh is all set to host the Davis Cup.
Talking about Rohan Bopanna's request for a farewell match in Bengaluru, AITA secretary general Anil Dhupar said that the tournament has already been scheduled. Hence, he feels, it is unfortunate that they cannot change the venue now.

AITA has announced the 12-member team for the upcoming edition, which will begin on September 24 and end on September 30 in Hangzhou in China.
The 43-year-old is the most experienced in the team, which includes Yuki Bhambri, Sumit Nagal, Ramkumar Ramanathan, and Sasikumar Mukund. Rohit Rajpal will lead India.
