India got off to a positive start at the Rotterdam Open 2020 as Rohan Bopanna along with his young Canadian partner Denis Shapovalov sailed into the quarter-finals of the tournament. Pairing up with the supremely talented Shapovalov, Bopanna looked to be in sharp form as the Indo-Canadian duo tamed the challenge posed by the all-Australian pair of John Peers and Michael Venus.
Bopanna and Shapovalov won after a thrilling three-set clash, 7-6, 6-7, 10-8. With that, they stormed into the quarter-finals and will now face fourth-seeded pair of Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau.
The 20-year-old Denis Shapovalov who has been a former World No. 13 in the Men's Singles, makes for a very suitable partner for the 39-year-old Rohan Bopanna. Showing signs of his vintage self in several points during the previous match, Bopanna was quite impressive en route to scripting the victory.
The duo of Julien Rojer and Tecau on the other hand, are not to be taken lightly as they downed the challenge of Greek sensation, Stefanos Tsitsipas and his Serbian partner, Nenad Zimonjic. Handing out a 6-2, 6-2 defeat, the pair from Netherlands and Romania looked pretty unstoppable as they sailed into the quarters.
Bopanna and Shapovalov will have to play with their guards up if they hope to continue further in Rotterdam. Owing to his ample experience in the doubles' arena, Bopanna will be able to guide Shapovalov and hopefully can tame the challenge of Julien Rojer and Tecau and aid in making their way into the semi-finals.
