MELBOURNE: Rohan Bopanna is a man on a mission. At No. 19, he's the highest ranked among five Indians in the top100 of the ATP's individual doubles. The one bright spot in the Indian tennis landscape. Not enough, says the Kodava, who is pitching and preparing for more success in the coming months. For himself and a group of compatriots.
Bopanna, soon to be 43, the oldest player in the Australian Open, is determined that Indian tennis will be more than a memory, however tall the towers of yesteryears may stand or how few and far between success is these days.
