Rohan Bopanna, Nuno Borges go down fighting in Qatar Open

Bopanna and Borges made a stupendous start to the Qatar Open after knocking out the fourth-seeded Italian pair of Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori in the Round of 16. Bolelli and Vavassori were the runners-up at the Australian Open in January and won the Rotterdam Open earlier this month. But Bopanna and Borges won the match 7-6(2), 7-6(4).

Against Cash and Glasspool, Bopanna and Borges fought until the very end before throwing in the towel. They earned a break of serve, but dropped their serve twice to lose the first set. In the second set, Bopanna and Borges didn’t concede a break before pocketing it in the tie-breaker.

In the match tie-breaker, Bopanna and Borges went 0-2 down before leveling it 2-2. But once Cash and Glasspool took a 3-2 lead, they didn’t look back. Leading 8-7, they racked up a couple more points to finish on the winning side.

While Rohan Bopanna couldn’t go through to the semis, his compatriot Yuki Bhambri booked his berth in the top four. Bhambri and his Croatian partner Ivan Dodig defeated top seeds Marcelo Aravelo and Mate Pavic 2-6, 6-3, 10-8 in a humdinger of a quarterfinal.
