Bopanna is the only Indian player still remaining in this year’s US Open tennis competition after Sumit Nagal exited from the men’s singles event after a second-round loss to World No. 3 Dominic Thiem and Divij Sharan and his partner failed to progress beyond the doubles first round.
Bopanna and Shapovalov will now face a German pair of Kevin Krawietz and Andreas Miles in the next round on Saturday, September 5. The Germans have defeated the Australian pair of Luke Saville and Max Purcell in the second round.
