Bopanna, Mirza set up last-eight clash in French Open mixed doubles

Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza and her Croatian partner Ivan Dodig will face off against seventh seeds Rohan Bopanna and Gabriela Dabrowski in the quarter-final clash of the mixed doubles event here at the French Open today.

Yesterday, Mirza and Dodig booked their place in the last-eight after sweeping aside New Zealand's Artem Sitak and Ukraine's Elina Svitolina 6-2, 6-4 in a one-sided second round contest.

Meanwhile, Bopanna and Dabrowski registered a 6-3, 6-2 win over the French duo Chloe Paquet and Benoit Paire to storm into the quarter-finals.

Bopanna, however, knocked out of the men's doubles event after he and his Uruguayan partner Pablo Cuevas suffered a 6-7, 2-6 defeat against the Brazilian-British team of Bruno Soares and Jamie Murray.

 

In men's singles clash, world number one Andy Murray will also look to secure a last-four berth when he takes on Karen Khachanov of Russia in men's singles event later today.
