Monte Carlo, Apr 10:
India’s Rohan Bopanna and his Australian partner Matthew Ebden lost their round of 16 men’s doubles match to Mate Pavic of Croatia and Marcelo Arévalo of El Salvador at the Monte Carlo Masters here on Wednesday.
They lost 3-6 6-7 (6-8).
Bopanna and Ebden fell behind quickly in the first set and could not recover from there. The Indo-Australian combo seemed to make a comeback of sorts in the second set but their opponents played very well to seal the issue in the tie-breaker.
Nagal match suspended owing to rain
Indian tennis ace Sumit Nagal was trailing in his second round men’s singles match against Holger Rune of Denmark, when rain led to a suspension of the contest.
The unseeded Nagal lost the first set 3-6 and was behind 1-2 against seventh seed Rune, when the heavens opened up.
Holger was dominating the match until the rain interruption.
The 36-year-old Nagal entered the match having enjoyed an excellent run of form. (PTI)
