Earlier in the semi-final, Rohan Bopanna and Sharan won 4-6, 6-3, 10-8 against Japan’s Kaito Uesugi and Sho Shimabukoro in a three-set thriller which lasted for 72 minutes.

The pair of Rohan Bopanna-Divij Sharan displayed their superiority in the Round of 16 as they overcame Thailand’s Wishaya Trongcharoenchaikul and Nuttanon Kadchapanan 6-3, 6-1 in straight games. The match had lasted for 54 minutes.

It was a good day for India overall at Asian Games 2018. Tennis and rowing brought in two gold medals for India and three more medals were assured in squash. Heena Sidhu added to the tally with a bronze in 10m pistol. India thrashed Japan 8-0 in men’s hockey to be on top of Pool A. It was a disappointing day in kabaddi and badminton as India failed to deliver in those sports.
