Andrea Vavassori, currently No. 8 in the ATP doubles rankings and reigning US Open mixed doubles champion with Sara Errani, joined Bopanna in keeping it classy when sharing his take.
“Doubles, and of course mixed doubles, are fun, entertaining and super competitive disciplines that should be promoted in a total different way, enhancing the players, their skille sand their attitude,” one Instagram passage read. “In fact, this very high specialization nowadays makes doubles players more competitive than singles players.
“I am truly convinced—especially in the times we are living in—that nothing can generate interest if it’s not managed the right way.”
