Indian tennis player Rohan Bopanna yesterday reached a career-high fifth on the ATP World Tour doubles rankings, following his semifinal appearance at Wimbledon.
Bopanna, along with Frenchman Edouard Roger-Vasselin, reached the men’s doubles semi-finals where they put up an intense fight against top-seeded Bryan brothers before bowing out of the tournament. Bopanna also reached the mixed doubles quarter-finals with China’s Zie Jheng.

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.”
