India's campaign at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships witnessed mixed results on Wednesday in the opening round of the men's doubles draw.
While Yuki Bhambri progressed, the veteran Rohan Bopanna suffered a tame exit.
Yuki Bhambri and his American partner R. Galloway (seeded 16th) got the better of M. Guinard and R. Arneodo 7(10)-6(8), 6-4.
In the first set, the Indo-American pair were pushed to the hit by the Guinard-Arneodo, but in the second set, Bhambri-Galloway unit had the measure of their opponents.
On the other hand, Bopanna had a rather forgettable appearance, his 17th at the famed championships.
The Indo-Belgian pair failed to counter the formidable 3rd seeded German pair of Putz-Krawietz and eventually succumbed in straight sets.
