Rohan Bopanna: India's two-time Grand Slam winner Rohan Bopanna announced his retirement from professional tennis on Saturday, bringing an end to his 20-year-long celebrated career, which saw him bring many laurels to the country.

Bopanna's decision to hang up his boots came days after his last appearance at the Paris Masters 1000, where he teamed up with Alexander Bublik. The duo ultimately lost the Round of 32 match, falling 5-7, 6-2, 10-8 to John Peers and James Tracy.

“How do you bid farewell to something that gave your life its meaning? After 20 unforgettable years on tour, it's time I'm officially hanging up my racquet,” he wrote in a lengthy social media post.
