Hey does anyone know if Rohan Bopanna and Divij Sharan have qualified? I see a Spanish duo qualified with a combined ranking of 170 on Wikipedia. As far as I remember Divij and Rohan have a combined ranking less than 170.

No news yet on Bopanna-Divij but will get clarity by July 5. I think the Spanish pair of Pablo Andujar and Roberto Baena comes from Singles priority quota

No I don't think so. The Spanish pair you are talking is of singles players. If you see that wiki you can see it is TBD. Their qualifications depend on other singles players not wanting to participate in doubles. So no they are not confirmed.
