Veteran Indian tennis player Sania Mirza and her Ukrainian partner Nadiia Kichenok took 12th place in the women’s doubles competition at the Australian Open and competed against Slovenia’s strong individuals Kajo Juvan and Tamara Zidanšek. Sania and Kichekon qualified for the first grand slam tournament of the season after reaching the semi-finals of the first Adelaide WTA tournament and being eliminated from the second round. Zidanšek is ranked 29th in the world on the singles chart, while Juvan is also ranked 89th among the top 100.
In the men’s doubles, 41-year-old Rohan Bopanna and his French partner Edouard Roger-Vasselin qualified for the bottom half of the draw, where they will face off against the double pair of Indonesian Christopher Rungkat and Filipino Treat Huey. round match.
The draw for the mixed doubles has not yet been made and it is very unlikely that Bopanna and Mirza would perform together, as their joint ranking will not be enough for the team.
No Indian player was able to qualify for the main draw individually, and Yuki Bhambri, Ramkumar Ramanathan, Prajnesh Gunneswaran and Ankita Rain fell in the qualifiers.
