Currently, at Paes' ranking, there is no chance he and Sania can get direct qualification. On the other hand, Bopanna and Sania are assured of qualifying. However, if India decides to submit Paes/Sania as an entry, they may get the Asian continental quota. But its tricky. Currently, Japan is ahead of India with Nishikori at world no. 6 and Misaki Doi at world no. 38, for a combined ranking of 44. Paes/Sania have a combined ranking of 51. Also, there are only 3 continental quotas available and a possible 5 continental federations vying for those quotas. So its difficult to be assured of qualification for Paes/Sania whereas Bopanna/Sania would be assured of qualifying. There can easily be an issue here with Paes showing his 3 mixed doubles titles last year and Bopanna claiming assured qualification... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will a great showing in the French Open Men's Doubles help leander get past nishikori and doi's combined ranking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smit 4 Posted May 21, 2016 #1289 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'm expecting Sania Rohan team this time. Leander is not up to the mark these days and his partnership with Sania hasn't worked so well either. Sania and Rohan are good friends since long and they have done well together. They teamed up recently at ITPL and results were great. Also Rohan is in form. In addition to that both will get a good seed. Their combined rank is 12 Prashanth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
