Indian men’s doubles hopes end in tennis

Bopanna was hoping for a doubles entry alongside Sumit Nagal
India's hopes of fielding a men’s doubles team at the Tokyo Olympics ended on Monday. After Rohan Bopanna and Divij Sharan had failed to make the cut, the All India Tennis Association (AITA) had explored the possibility of pairing Bopanna with Sumit Nagal, after the latter earned a singles spot on Friday. The rationale behind the move was the ITF's ‘Singles Priority’ rule in place for Tokyo, which allows players in the singles draw to play doubles if any spot was available after 24 Direct Acceptance places (based on combined doubles ranking) and a quota of 86 athletes per gender was reached.
