~ Rohan Bopanna and Divij Sharan win their maiden ATP Tour title with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Luke Bambridge-Jonny O’Mara ~
In the Doubles Final, Bopanna’s trademark big serves and some smart net-play from Sharan gave the top-seeded Indian pairing their first ATP Tour title. Such was Bopanna’s form with his service that he lost only four points on it in the entire match. The two pairs were not giving an inch until the 7th game when British pair had a chance to break which they missed. In the following game, Indian pair wasn’t so benevolent break-ing O’Mara’s serve to take a 5-3 lead and eventually winning the first set.
Spurred by the capacity home crowd, Bopanna-Sharan took the initiative early on in
the second set as they broke the British pair in the fifth and seventh game to go 5-2 up. Sharan’s serve in the eighth was broken, perhaps giving the Bambridge-O’Mara team some hope. But that was not to be as Bopanna did what he does best, serving out the 10th game in style to seal the deal.
