Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden vs Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori: Head-to-head and prediction
Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden have faced Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori three times so far, all of their meetings having occured this year itself.
They first faced each other in the summit clash at the 2024 Australian Open, which Bopanna and Ebden won 7-6(0), 7-5 to clinch the title. They next faced off in the Round of 32 at the Miami Masters, where they came back from a set down to win 4-6, 7-6(4), 10-4. Their most recent encounter was in the Round of 32 at the Rome Masters, with Bolelli and Vavassori registering a comfortable 6-2, 6-4 win.
Their head-to-head thus stands at 2:1, but with Bolelli and Vavassori having won in their most recent encounter.
Prediction: Heading into the semifinal clash at Roland Garros, Bopanna and Ebden will be optimistic about getting the better of Bolelli and Vavassori again, having already managed to subdue the pair in an intense contest at a Major. The Indian-Australian pair seem to have grown in confidence with each match at the French capital this year and should be able to bag a spot in the title contest.
