The much anticipated men's doubles fixture between Bopanna-Balaji and Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Gael Monfils was called off during incessant rains.

The match will now be played on Sunday.

India has a three-men tennis contingent at Paris, the doubles pairing of Rohan Bopanna and Sriram Balaji, along with Sumit Nagal, who will take part in the men's singles event.

Rohan Bopanna is the current Australian Open winner and also finished as a semi-finalist at the 2024 French Open.

He chose Sriram Balaji as his doubles partner for the Paris Olympics and the two together will now face a stiff challenge in the first round, up against French duo Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Gael Monfils.

Initially, Fabien Reboul was paired with Roger, but he has withdrawn and is now replaced by Gael Monfils, making it even harder for the Indian duo.

The match was originally slated to take place on court 12 and will now be reschedule for Sunday.
