Bopanna’s serve and net play were very strong but Sania’s serve was under pressure. The match was interrupted by rain, with the 14th-seeded pair of Jean-Julien Roger and Andreja Klepak winning 6-3, 3-6, 11-9 after taking a one-set lead. Sania hasn’t played much competitive tennis since her comeback, which she struggled with on her serve. This will be Sania’s last tournament before the Tokyo Olympics where she will compete with Ankita Raina in the women’s doubles event. The defeat also ended India’s challenge at a grass court Grand Slam.
