Monte-Carlo, April 9, 2025 — In a dramatic turnaround, Ben Shelton and Rohan Bopanna stormed into the quarter-finals of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, overcoming third seeds Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori 2-6, 7-6(4), 10-7 in a Wednesday thriller.

Despite playing together for the first time, the Indian-American pair showed remarkable chemistry. After dropping the first set, they held their nerve in a tense Match Tie-break—racing ahead 4-0, then trailing 5-6, before winning five of the next six points to seal the match.
