The first set was an amazing victory for India and won 6-4. Rohan took the first point for the duo and got the first set fto the Indian side. The second set pulled us back to the ground from the high of winning the first. India lost by 3-6 to Rojer and Arevalo, and the game was a draw. Only the third set was a differentiating game between the winners and losers. It was a competitive final set where each player went back and forth to score higher points. The game ended with Rohan Bopanna and Matwe Middelkoop losing to Marcelo Arevalo and Jean-Julien Roger by 6-7.
Roger, who is forty years old, became the oldest player ever to enter the French Open finals. If India had won the semi-finals, Bopanna would’ve been the most aged player. There won’t be the next chance as it will be the last French Open for Rohan.
