Welcome to the Sportskeeda liveblog of the 2018 Australian Open men's doubles. Rohan Bopanna and Edouard Roger-Vasselin are seeded 10th and face the Argentine-Portuguese pair of Leonardo Mayer and Joao Sousa. The latter are an unusual pairing between two players who are more proficient in singles.
Bopanna and Roger-Vasselin are expected to come though this match unscathed.
The Indo-French combine was tested in the second set of their first round match by the pair of Vasek Pospisil and Ryan Harrison, but the 10th seeds won that encounter 6-2, 7-6(5). That definitely boosted their confidence and would help them get ready for their second round match.
