BENGALURU: Rohan Bopanna was a little surprised when asked what the Olympic Games meant to him. What kind of a question was that? "It's more than a competition, more than a quadrennial event. It's an emotion," said Bopanna, for whom Paris 2024 will be his third Games.
Bopanna, 44, will be the oldest tennis player in Paris and the oldest male player since tennis returned to the Olympics in Seoul in 1988. Martina Navratilova, who played the women's doubles in Athens in 2004 aged 47 years and 309 days, is the only player older than Bopanna since 1988.
