Indian duo Rohan Bopanna and Rutuja Bhosale will play Chinese Taipei pair Tsung-hao Huang and En-shuo Liang in the Asian Games 2023 tennis mixed doubles gold medal match in Hangzhou, the People’s Republic of China, on Saturday.
The mixed doubles final is scheduled to start after 7:30 AM IST and will be available on live streaming and telecast in India.
En route to the final, Rohan Bopanna and Rutuja Bhosale defeated Uzbekistan’s Akgul Amanmuradova-Maksim Shin 6-4, 6-2 in the second round after receiving a bye in the first. The Indian tennis pair then accounted for Ayano Shimizu-Shinji Hazawa in 6-3, 6-4 in the round of 16 before defeating Kazakh pair Zhibek Kulambayeva-Grigoriy Lomakin 7-5, 6-3 in the quarter-finals.
Rohan Bopanna-Rutuja Bhosale, the second seeds, were stretched to a tie-breaker by Chinese Taipei’s Hao-ching Chan and Yu-hsiou Hsu but persevered 6-1, 3-6, 10-4 to set up a final against another Chinese Taipei pair, the ninth-seeded Tsung-hao Huang and En-shuo Liang.
This will be Rohan Bopanna’s second tennis final at the Asian Games. The Indian tennis veteran won the men’s doubles gold medal at Jakarta 2018. At Hangzhou 2023, Rohan Bopanna’s men’s doubles campaign, with partner Yuki Bhambri, ended in the round of 16.
For Rutuja Bhosale, meanwhile, it will be her maiden final appearance at the continental meet.
In Saturday’s final, Rohan Bopanna and Rutuja Bhosale will be chasing India’s second tennis medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games. Ramkumar Ramanathan and Saketh Myneni clinched the silver medal in men’s doubles after losing the final to the Chinese Taipei pair of Jason Jung and Yu-hsiou Hsu.
Indian tennis players’ Hangzhou 2023 campaigns in the other categories, including men’s and women’s singles and doubles, have already ended.
India has won the mixed doubles gold at the Asian Games twice. Leander Paes and Sania Mirza won at Doha 2006 while Sania combined with Myneni for the top podium at Incheon 2014.
