ATP Finals: Rohan Bopanna-Matthew Ebden Fall To Top-seeds Arevalo And Pavic
Bob Bryan Group: Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic overcame their defeat in the opener to claim a crucial victory at the ATP Finals, defeating Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden 7-5, 6-3 in a pivotal round-robin clash on Wednesday. The win keeps the top-seeded duo's hopes alive of advancing to the knockout rounds. Arevalo and Pavic, riding a powerful mid-match surge in which they won 15 consecutive points, wrapped up the 68-minute match in style.
"I think we had to give it our all today; this was the match to [essentially] stay in the tournament,” Arevalo said. “Anything can happen, and we know that. Today, we put in extra energy. Mate and I decided to go out there and give our best. We were lucky to execute in the important moments and finally, we ended up getting the win."
The Salvadoran-Croatian pair, now 1-1 in the Bob Bryan Group, will next face Italian favourites Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori in their final group match. A win there would improve their chances of reaching the knockout stages and becoming the first top-seeded duo to win the event since the Bryan brothers in 2014.
