Rohan Bopanna and N Sriram Balaji’s first-round men’s doubles match at Paris 2024 Olympics was postponed on Saturday due to rain.
The Indian duo was supposed to face Frenchmen Gael Monfils and Edouard Roger-Vasselin on Court 12, one of the outside courts at Roland-Garros.
Monfils replaced Fabien Reboul who pulled out of the tournament due to injury.
Bopanna, 44, is the oldest member of the Indian contingent. He is competing at the Olympics for the third time. His best performance is the fourth-place finish in mixed doubles from 2016 Rio Olympics where he paired up with Sania Mirza.
On the other hand, the 34-year-old Balaji is making his Summer Games debut.
