US Open 2024: Rohan Bopanna/Aldila Sutjiadi vs Taylor Townsend/Donald Young preview, prediction and live streaming details

Rohan Bopanna storms into US Open 2024 semifinals for the first time since 2015.

Rohan Bopanna registered one of his most memorable triumphs alongside Aldila Sutjiadi in the US Open 2024 quarterfinals, defeating his men’s doubles partner and the fourth seeded Matthew Ebden and Barbara Krejcikova in three sets to advance.

The Indo-Indonesian duo began slowly, with the Indian veteran being broken in his very first serving game but they staged a fascinating comeback in the fifth game breaking back on Ebden’s serve, to level terms.

Having forced a tiebreaker after trailing in the opening set, Bopanna-Sutjiadi did extremely well at the beginning to gain a substantial lead and clinch the first set. Krejcikova struggled with her serves which aided Bopanna and Sutjiadi.

The fourth seeded pair, however, struck back in the second set, triumphing in dominant fashion (6-2). The stage was set for a deciding tiebreaker and a semi-final berth was at stake. And it was the 44-year-old Bopanna and 29-year-old Sutjiadi who took their chances early on to gain a stunning 6-0 lead.

The Aussie-Czech pair did give their opponents a real scare by nearly levelling the score, but Bopanna used his experience to seal the match, causing an upset and equalling his best performance in a mixed doubles at the US Open.

Rohan Bopanna/Aldila Sutjiadi vs Taylor Townsend/Donald Young match preview

After a couple of strong outings, Bopanna and Sutjiadi will aim to make the final of the US Open 2024 but will have to breach the Americans if they were to do so.

The eighth seeds have already done a lot more than many would have expected, and with Bopanna knocked out of the men’s doubles, the veteran will be able to gift himself a perfect redemption if he were to qualify for the final of the mixed doubles event.

The American pairing has been a dominant force so far at the Open, dropping just a solitary set so far. With the crowd rooting for them, the duo will look to make their first Grand Slam final together on home soil.

Prediction

The Indo-Indonesian duo of Bopanna and Sutjiadi will aim to make history by securing a semi-final berth at the US Open 2024. The eighth seeds will be extremely high on confidence after taking out two high quality opponents in their previous two contests and have already exceed expectations.

The American duo of Taylor Townsend and Donald Young will have the backing of the crowd and do have experience in the mix. Townsend won the women’s doubles event at the 2024 Wimbledon championships while her partner Young will play his second semi-final at the US Open after long a span of 10 years.

Although Bopanna and Sutjiadi are higher ranked as compared to their American rivals, they’ll face a hostile challenge against the home favourites.

Prediction: Rohan Bopanna/Aldila Sutjiad to win in three sets.
