Rohan Bopanna-Ben Shelton Lose In Monte Carlo Tennis Quarterfinals

Indian ace Rohan Bopanna and Ben Shelton's men's doubles campaign at the Monte Carlo Masters ended in the quarterfinals after losing to Monegasque Romain Arneodo and partner Manuel Guinard on Friday. The Indo-American duo came back from a set down but lost in the super tiebreak with the scoreline 6-2, 4-6, 10-7. This was Bopanna's sixth quarterfinal appearance at the Monte-Carlo Masters, a title he famously lifted in 2017. Bopanna-Shelton rallied to a 2-6, 7-6(4), 10-7 second-round victory against third seeds Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori that featured a topsy-turvy match tie-break to make it to the quarterfinals. After his first-round win over Francisco Cerundolo and Alejandro Tabilo, Bopanna became the oldest player ever, in either singles or doubles, to win a match at the ATP Masters 1000 level at the age of 45 years and one month.
