Indo-Romanian pair of Rohan
Bopanna and Florin Mergea have
clinched the men's doubles title at
the 574,965-euro Stuttgart Open.
The fourth seeds took just an hour
and 12 minutes to beat Austrian-
Brazilian third seeds Alexander Peya
and Bruno Soares 5-7, 6-2, 10-7 in
the final.
This is the second title the two have
won together, having won the clay
court Madrid Open last month.
This is 35-year-old Bopanna's fourth
title of the year, having won two
hard court tournaments in Dubai
and Sydney with Canadian partner
Daniel Nestor.
This is also the Bengaluru-born's
14th career doubles title and second
on grass.
Though the fourth seeds played well,
Peya and Soares surged ahead just
when it was required, winning the
sole break point of the first set.
This win boosts their chances before
the start of Wimbledon, the lone
grass court Major, on 28th June.
