Bopanna has the confidence to take on the best: Bhupathi

MUMBAI: Mahesh Bhupathi believes that Rohan Bopanna now has the confidence to take on the best. “Bopanna and Aisam Qureshi now believe they can. Making the final of a Grand Slam shows they have made the transition,” he said, speaking at a Nike nationwide initiative named ‘Bleed Blue' on Monday.

Bopanna stands out among the Indian competitors on the men's circuit due to his big serve and power game. “He always had the potential, now he has shown with solid performances. The confidence gained over the past weeks will help in the matches ahead,” said Bhupathi, replying to a query about Bopanna's value to the Indian team for the forthcoming World Group Davis Cup playoffs against Brazil in Chennai.

“We are playing at home, on surface suited to our kind of game. We hope to make the most of home court advantage.”

The Commonwealth Games is the next major assignment for the Indian tennis players. “We want to win as many titles as possible and boost India's medals tally at CWG,” he said. — Special Correspondent
