His Roland Garros journey began with a twist as his opening match was postponed due to rain, causing his rivals to withdraw. After this, the match with the Indian-Austrian pair of Sumit Nagal and Sebastian Offner also failed due to similar reasons. Ultimately, Bopanna and Ebden showcased their experience when facing Loos and Zorman.
They overcame a slow start in the opening set to take a 4–1 lead, but the Brazilians fought back. However, Bopanna and Ebden demonstrated their Grand Slam winning pedigree to win the set 7–5. The second set was much tighter, with Ebden's double fault going to the Brazilians, who won 4–6.
The dominance of the Indian-Australian pair was visible in the deciding set. He put together a good start after a bad start, scoring important points. Despite late comebacks from Loos and Zorman, Bopanna and Ebden sealed a 6–4 victory.
Bopanna will now turn her focus to mixed doubles and will pair up with Russia's Veronika Kudermetova in the first round match to be held late on Sunday night.
