Heliovaara, Patten Defeat Bopanna to Reach Quarterfinals

At the 2025 French Open, second seeds Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten advanced to the men's doubles quarter-finals by defeating Rohan Bopanna and Adam Pavlasek 6-2, 7-6(5) in the third round. This loss marked the end of India's campaign in men's doubles, as Yuki Bhambri and his American partner Robert Galloway were also eliminated by ninth seeds Christian Harrison and Evan King. Earlier, Bopanna and Pavlasek had reached the pre-quarterfinals by upsetting the 13th seeds, while other Indian players, including N Sriram Balaji and junior Manas Dhamne, exited in earlier rounds. Heliovaara and Patten, reigning Wimbledon and Australian Open champions, continue their pursuit of another Grand Slam title. British players, including Neal Skupski and Lloyd Glasspool, also progressed in both men’s and mixed doubles, highlighting strong British representation in the tournament's later stages. The doubles events now feature a predominantly British presence as Indian players have been eliminated.
