Olympics: Waiting to hear from AITA to confirm my partner, says Bopanna

Hindustan Times  

Rohan Bopanna has only a week’s breather at home between his French Open semi-final run and the next block of tournaments – the Olympics sandwiched between two Grand Slams. At 44, adding a couple of tournaments to a packed schedule that will see Bopanna play at Queen’s and Wimbledon on grass this month and jump immediately to hard-court Masters events and US Open after the Olympics with his tour partner Matt Ebden isn’t easy on the body. I don’t think in 2016, when we were playing in Rio, anybody thought I would still be in the top 10.” ‘Positive feeling going back to Paris’ The semi-final finish by Bopanna and Ebden at French Open was an uptick from their first-round exit last year. “Going by the tennis I’ve been playing, I feel extremely positive going back to Paris and playing on that surface,” Bopanna said. “I don't think I’ve had this kind of consistency across 12 months in my entire doubles career,” Bopanna said.
