Following his first-ever grand slam victory in men's doubles at the Australian Open, Rohan Bopanna, the current champion, has his sights set on the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, which begin on July 26.
"It seems highly likely that the Olympics will happen. The fact that our tennis team will be competing in the Olympics is fantastic, but first I have a lot more Masters series to look forward to, including Indian Wells and Miami, before the clay court season starts. Wimbledon and the French Open are coming up. There are a ton of events leading up to the Olympics. You know for tennis calendar it is pretty busy. Every week there is a tournament. So, a lot of wonderful things to look forward to and excited for the seaosn coming up," said Rohan Bopanna while speaking to ANI.
The world's top doubles player, who rose to the top of the rankings after winning the Australian Open 2024 quarterfinal, has been at the top of the rankings for more than two weeks, but the feeling of winning his maiden Australian Open victory has not yet fully worn off.
"It has been incredible. Even though it has been couple of weeks but it feels like it was yesterday. It has been overwhelming the response. It is still sinking in to be honest. But it has been wonderful with a lot of messages. Lots of love towards this achievement of mine. I really feel proud for not only my family but well-wishers and many people I have met they have been inspired in some ways. It really feels special. I am extremely happy to achieve the number one ranking and a grand slam," said Bopanna.
