In the second set, the opponents tried to make a comeback but Bopanna and his teammate kept their nerves cool and sealed a 6-4 win. "Grand entry in the #MiamiOpen final! The legend and #TOPSchemeAthlete Bopanna and his Australian doubles partner Ebden enter their third final of the season beating Spain's M. Granollers & Argentina's H. Zeballos 6-1 6-4. The In-form pair back at No 1. Well done! Congratulations & best wishes for the finale folks," the Sports Authority of India (SAI) wrote on X. https://x.com/Media_SAI/status/1773438618625020175?s=20 Recapping the quarterfinal match of the Bopanna-Edben, in the first set for the India-Aussie duo was nothing short of a horror show, as numerous unforced errors put them on a backfoot and they lost it. But the experience and chemistry of this duo were evident in how they put the first-set loss aside to secure the next two sets. They beat Australia's John Patrick-Smith and his Netherlands' partner Sem Verbeek in the QFs by 3-6, 7-6(4), 10-7. (ANI)
