Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden made their way through to the quarterfinals of the French Open 2024 men’s doubles. The Indo-Australian duo beat N Sriram Balaji and Miguel Angel Reyes-Varela 6-7 (2-7), 6-3, 7-6 (10-8) on Monday (June 3) on Court 7. After 2 hours and 20 minutes, Bopanna and Ebden survived a huge scare and had the last laugh.

Earlier on Sunday, Bopanna and Ebden made a brilliant start after beating the Brazilian pair of Marcelo Zormann and Orlando Luz 7-5, 4-6, 6-4. However, they got a walkover in the second round after the duo of Sebastian Baez and Thiago Seyboth Wild withdrew from the tournament.

Earlier, Seyboth Wild complained of pain after twisting his ankle, following which he decided not to take part in the second round of the men’s doubles.

Bopanna and Ebden will face the winner of the match between the Belgian pair of Sander Gill and Jordan Vilegen in the quarterfinal.
