Indian tennis star Rohan Bopanna`s search to look for a partner for the men`s doubles competition at the Australian Open ended on Saturday as he tied up with Japan`s Ben McLachlan for the season`s first Grand Slam. Bopanna had originally paired with Joao Sousa but the Portuguese contracted coronavirus virus, forcing them to pull out. Bopanna, who served a 14-day hard quarantine after arriving in Melbourne on January 16, informed that Ben and he were in the same boat.
"I got lucky there. Unfortunately Ben`s partner Raven Klassen had to pull out and Ben was looking for a partner, so we finally decided to commit and sign up together. I am looking forward to see how it goes. Definitely was not easy to find partners, happy to have found one," Bopanna told PTI.
