India's Rohan Bopanna and Australian partner Matthew Ebden advanced to the round of 16 in the men's doubles of the US Open 2023 tennis tournament at Flushing Meadows New York on Friday. Seeded sixth at the year's fourth and final tennis Grand Slam, Bopanna and Ebden took a little over an hour to beat the unseeded pairing of Roman Safiullin of Russia and Andrey Golubev of Kazakhstan 6-3, 6-3 in the second round, as per Olympics.com. Bopanna and Ebden were pushed on the backfoot early in the first set. They barely held on to their first serve and were beaten on love in the second. However, a break in the eighth game helped them take the first set.
