New York: The Indo-Canadian pair of Rohan Bopanna and Denis Shapovalov have reached the quarterfinals of the ongoing US Open by defeating the German pair of Kevin Krawietz-Andreas Mies 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the second-round clash that lasted for an hour and 47 minutes.

After losing the first set, Bopanna-Shapovalov made a spirited comeback and clinched the next two sets comprehensively .

Bopanna-Shapovalov sharpened their play in the second set, improving their first-serve percentage and winning more points behind their second serves.

The Indian-Canadian duo built on that momentum in the decider set, converting their sole breakpoint and saving the one they faced to book their place in the last eight.
