It was tough for Bopanna and his partner in the first set initially as they were down by 0-3. But, the pair bounced back afterwards and took the set into a tie-breaker. Krejcikova and Ebden didn’t give up after losing the first set and won the second one by a score of 2-6 as they converted both their breakpoint chances and didn’t allow their opponents a single break in throughout the set.
It is incredible Result!
