Rohan Bopanna, Ivan Dodig struggle in Dubai Open
Rohan Bopanna and Ivan Dodig didn’t have the best of times in Dubai after Cash and Glasspool knocked them out in the very first round. In the first set, Cash and Glasspool converted two of their five break point chances to get the better of their opponent.
Bopanna and Dodig, on the other hand, couldn’t get even a single chance to break Cash and Glasspool’s serve. The second set wasn’t any different compared to the first. The British duo earned a crucial break to go 5-4 up, after which they closed the match out comfortably.
Cash and Glasspool will now lock horns with Yuki Bhambri and Alexei Popyrin in the quarterfinal. Although Bopanna exited, India have representation in Dubai with Bhambri’s presence.
Bhambri and Popyrin defeated Marcelo Aravelo and Mate Pavic 4-6, 7-6 (1), 10-3 in the first round. If they win the quarterfinals, they will meet Jamie Murray and John Peers in the semi-final.
Bopanna, who became the oldest World No. 1 last year, recently dropped out of the top 20 after making an early exit from the Australian Open.
