Xtratime Web Desk: Despite losing in the US Open doubles final against Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury, Rohan Bopanna and his partner Matthew Ebden managed to win the hearts of the spectators.
They won the first set 6-2 but lost the second set 3-6. In the third set, despite a remarkable forehand shot by Ebden, Bopanna signaled to the umpire that the ball had touched his hand.
Although there were no complaints from the opponents, Bopanna’s sportsmanship stood out as he voluntarily brought the matter to the umpire’s attention. They ultimately lost the third set 4-6, but Bopanna and his partner have earned admiration for their spirit, even in defeat.
