At 44 years of age, Rohan Bopanna has played his last match in an India jersey. Late on Sunday, Bopanna and Sriram Balaji bowed out of the men's doubles event of the Olympic Games, falling 5-7, 2-6 to the French pairing of Gael Monfils and Edouard Roger-Vasselin.
Bopanna's last dance in India colours couldn't have come at a more beloved venue for the strapping Kodava. Roland Garros was where he won his first Grand Slam title, back in 2017 in the mixed doubles when he partnered Gabriela Dabrowski. It was a coming of age stage for him.
