Bopanna-Balaji to face French duo – Blog, updates, scores

After all the fanfare and excitement, the Olympic Games have finally begun.

India has a three-man men’s tennis team in Paris: the doubles pair of Rohan Bopanna and Sriram Balaji, along with Sumit Nagal, who will compete in the men’s singles.

Rohan Bopanna is the current winner of the Australian Open and finished as a semi-finalist at the 2024 French Open.

He has chosen Sriram Balaji as his doubles partner for the Paris Olympics and the two now face a tough challenge in the first round as they take on the French duo of Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Gael Monfils.

Initially, Fabien Reboul was paired with Roger but he has withdrawn and has been replaced by Gael Monfils, making things even more difficult for the Indian duo.

The competition will take place on court 12 and the starting time will depend on the previous competition on the same court.
