The world No.7 Bopanna, recent from his semifinal look in Wimbledon, was categorical that his partnering Yuki can be one of the best mixture, as India can be seeking to win two medals in doubles.

The basic impression created was that Bopanna would associate Ramkumar Ramanathan, with whom he had received two ATP doubles titles. Yuki and Saketh Myneni play as a pair repeatedly within the skilled circuit with appreciable success.

Bopanna mentioned that it was unfair he didn't get an opportunity to decide on his associate, from amongst a bunch of gamers with good rank, which indicated their kind and health, other than success on the professional tour.

“It was not right that so many players ranked better than Ramkumar were not even asked for their availability. I enquired if I could play with Arjun Kadhe who did not have a regular partner among Indians, but I was told that his name was not sent earlier in the long list,” mentioned Bopanna.

“If a player is not available, it is understandable. But if you are not even considered for selection, it defeats the purpose,” he added.

The claims of Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan, Sriram Balaji, Anirudh Chandrasekar, Arjun Kadhe, Vijay Sundar Prashanth, Purav Raja, and Divij Sharan, ranked higher have been ignored.

For the Olympics, a top-10 doubles participant will get the appropriate to decide on his doubles associate.

“Why can’t that rule apply for the Asian Games,” queried Bopanna.

At a time when Indian doubles has stepped up on the worldwide enviornment, not having a good choice has not solely upset the deserving gamers, however has undoubtedly harm the probabilities of two doubles medals.
