New York: The Indian challenge came to an end at the US Open with the quarterfinal loss of Rohan Bopanna and his Canadian partner Denis Shapovalov in the men’s doubles event here.
Bopanna and Shapovalov lost 5-7 5-7 to Dutch Jean-Julien Rojer and Romania’s Horea Tecau in the last-eight match which lasted one hour and 26 minutes on Monday, September 7.

Bopanna and Shapovalov lost their serve once in each set and could not convert the only break chance that came their way in the second set.
