Australian Open 2023: Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna’s pair has reached the final of the ongoing Australian Open championship in mixed-doubles category on Wednesday. The duo defeated third seed American-Britisb pair pair Desirae Krawczyk and Neal Skupski in the semifinals.
Sania and Bopanna registered a 7-6(5), 6-7(5), 10-6 upset win over two-time Wimbledon champion pair Desirae-Skupski.
The Indian pair will next face the winner of the match between Australia’s Olivia Gadecki and Marc Polmans and the Brazilian pair of Luisa Stefani and Rafael Matos.
The game was heavily dominated by the Indian duo as they registered 7-6(5), 6-7(5), 10-6 over two-time Wimbledon champion pair Desirae-Skupski.
The Indians used their experience well to ensure three more break points of their own.
This will be the first time in five years that a Grand Slam final will have Indian representation. Bopanna had made the Australian Open mixed doubles final with Hungary’s Timea Babos in 2018 but ended up on the losing side.
Sania is playing her last major as the six-time Grand Slam champion and earlier this month announced that she will retire from professional tennis at Dubai Tennis Championships, a WTA 1000 event, which begins on February 19.
