Commenting on the joy of his career-high while on a break from the tour, Bopanna said: “It is great to have been ranked fifth on the rankings ladder. It is an extremely proud moment for my team and myself, as this ranking is a true testament of the many years of hard work, focus and determination.”

Commenting on the future of his partnership with Wimbledon partner Roger-Vasselin, the Coorgy player said: “It is too early to speculate, though Edouard and I are in conversation on continuing this partnership given the great run we have had in the two weeks at Wimbledon.”
