The winners of the third-round match, which will feature the top-seeded Wesley Koolhof from the Netherlands, Neal Skupski from the United Kingdom, and the local pair of Nathaniel Lammons and Jackson Withrow, will determine Bopanna and Ebden’s next opponents. Unfortunately, elimination in the first round of the men’s doubles competition left Yuki Bhambri and Saketh Myneni, with the 43-year-old Bopanna as the sole Indian player still in contention.

However, Bopanna’s journey in the mixed doubles event came to an end. Playing alongside Indonesian partner Aldila Sutjiadi, Bopanna faced a 2-6, 5-7 defeat against the American team of Ben Shelton and Taylor Townsend in the second round.
