What a day it has been for Indian fans on Republic Day!
Bopanna was the star of the show. He served well, volleyed well, returned well and was the best player on the court out of the four!
Bopanna will now aim to win the second Slam of his career after triumphing at the French Open last year. Interestingly, he faces Gaby Dabrowski on the other side of the court, the very player he won the French Open title with. Dabrowski is partnering Mate Pavic this time.
As for Babos, she will look to win her second title at the 2018 Australian Open after grabbing the women's doubles title alongside Kristina Mladenovic.
