Rohan Bopanna has entered his second straight Grand Slam quarter-final as the veteran Indian player along with Mixed doubles partner Gabriela Dabrowski made the last-eight round of Wimbledon 2017.
The Indo-Canadian pair will take on defending champions Heather Watson-Henri Kontinen on Thursday, July 13.
Bopanna won his first Grand Slam title -- French Open -- earlier this year at the Roland Garros after he and his Canadian partner Dabrowski defeated Robert Farah and Anna-Lena Gronefeld in a hard-fought final battle, that went to the tie-break -- 2-6, 6-2, 12-10. The pair was dictating terms on the dirt, beating second seeds Sania Mirza and Ivan Dodig and third seeds Andrea Hlavackova-Edouard Roger-Vasselin enroute.
Bopanna and Dabrowski have successfully carried their winning form into the grass season. After being handed a first-round bye, the duo went on to survive a close battle against unseeded pair of Fabrice Martin and Raluca Olaru -- 7-6(2), 7-5 in the second round, after which they decimated Croatian pairing of Nikola Mektic and Ana Konjuh.
It will be a stiff test for the Indo-Canadian pair against the title holders as the Finnish-Britain pair has picked up from where they left off last season. In a hard-fought R16 match, Watson and Kontinen showcased fighting skills when they dumped fourth-seeds Dodic and Mirza.
However, spurred on by recent success, Bopanna and Dabrowski will enter today's tie with a lot of confidence as the London crowd is expected to rally behind local hope Watson and her partner.
