Bopanna & Ramanathan Win Adelaide Doubles Title On Team Debut
Indian duo Rohan Bopanna and Ramkumar Ramanathan completed a stunning tournament debut as a team Sunday by upsetting top seeds Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo 7-6(6), 6-1 in the Adelaide 1 International final.
Bopanna and Ramanathan had played just one Davis Cup doubles match together before this week.
World No. 43 Bopanna claimed his 19th tour-level title but first since Doha 2020 (w/ Koolhof). Ramanathan, No. 144 in the ATP Rankings, captured his first tour-level crown.
Later today, at the Melbourne Summer Set, top seeds Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski will play Aleksandr Nedovyesov and Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi for the title.
