Davis Cup: Bopanna to join squad for Morocco clash, says India captain Rajpal
The Statesman|September 13, 2023
Buoyed by his runner-up finish in men's doubles at the recently concluded US Open, Rohan Bopanna will make a quick air dash to India and will join the Indian squad on Wednesday for the crucial Davis Cup World Group II play-offs fixture against Morocco scheduled to take place in Lucknow on Saturday and Sunday.

The two-day encounter, which will secure the winner a place in the World Group I Playoffs, will be played at the Vijayant Khand Mini Stadium in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow.

The 43-year-old Bopanna, who is currently seventh in the world in doubles rankings, etched his name in the history books last week by becoming the oldest player to compete in a Grand Slam doubles final at the US Open. He and his Australian partner Matthew Ebden lost to Rajeev Ram of the United States and Joe Salisbury of Great Britain in the final.
