London: Following their loss in the title round of the year-ending $7 million ATP World Tour Finals at The O2 Arena, top Indian tennis player Rohan Bopanna has said 2015 has been a fantastic year for him and his men&rsquo;s doubles partner Florin Mergea of Romania.

Second seeds Horia Tecau and Jean-Julien Rojer defeated eighth seeds Bopanna and Mergea 6-4, 6-3 on Sunday evening for their 11th team title, and third of the year that includes their maiden Grand Slam at Wimbledon.
&ldquo;It was just a tough day today. But it&rsquo;s been a great week, making it to the final, first-time outing for us as a team,&rdquo; said the 35-year-old Bopanna after the loss.
Lot of positives &ldquo;And for the season, starting out in April, playing just about a handful of tournaments and to qualify here, I think it&rsquo;s been a fantastic year for us. We can take a lot of positives from this year, and we are looking forward to starting fresh in January.&rdquo;
Bopanna and Mergea first teamed up at Casablanca in April and end the year with a 31-16 record, including two titles from four finals.
Mergea added: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a pleasure to play in the World Tour Finals title match. Obviously, this has been the first time two Romanians (Tecau being the other) played the doubles final here. I think it&rsquo;s an historic day for us.&rdquo;
Bopanna ends the ATP season having won four titles &mdash; two with Mergea in Madrid and Stuttgart and two with Daniel Nestor in Dubai and Sydney, making 2015 the most successful season of his career.
