A golden start to their international partnership at the Asian Games has opened the possibility of Rohan Bopanna and Divij Sharan teaming up on the ATP tour sometime in future.
Bopanna and Sharan defeated Aleksander Bublik and Denis Yevseyev of Kazakhstan 6-3 6-4 in a 52-minute final to claim India's first tennis gold of the ongoing Games.
Bopanna and Sharan, who only play together for their employers Indian Oil, have shown at the Asian Games that they could achieve significant success together, if not as much as the legendary pairing of Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes.
For now, they are well settled with their respective partners on the tour but as Bopanna asked, "why not in the future?"
