5 Indian athletes who will impress at Rio 2016

Sania Mirza – Rohan Bopanna

The duo have pretty much won everytime they have stepped on the court together and would look to continue doing the same at Rio. Having sealed the qualification in June, they have been working hard for the Olympics and will be looking to win a medal.

Ranked 11 in the world as a pair, Mirza and Bopanna have strong chemistry and have playing styles that act as very good complements. Sania’s booming forehand and aggressive mindset will be backed up very well by Bopanna’s big serve and accurate volleys.

Sania Mirza has established herself as the World’s top-ranked doubles player, and won the Australian Open earlier this year. Bopanna is ranked 15 in the men’s doubles section and has been a very consistent presence on the tour.

Their experience makes them a very dangerous team and one that has a great chance of winning a medal.
