Paris, Oct 30: Veteran Indian tennis player Rohan Bopanna and his Australian partner Matthew Ebden have secured a spot in the Paris Masters men’s doubles quarterfinals after a strong straight-set win over the Brazilian-German duo of Marcelo Melo and Alexander Zverev. The third-seeded Bopanna-Ebden pair won 6-4, 7-6 (5) in a tightly contested match lasting one hour and 16 minutes.

Bopanna and Ebden delivered a solid performance, capitalizing on a critical break in the opening set and displaying consistency with a 91% win rate on their first serve, complemented by four aces.
