In a fiercely contested match, top seeds Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden exhibited extraordinary resilience but ultimately succumbed to a straight-sets defeat against the Russian-American duo Karen Khachanov and Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals of the Cinch Championships this Friday.

The formidable pair of Khachanov and Fritz, who entered the tournament as the eighth seeds, showcased their dominance, winning 7-6 (1), 7-6 (3) by capitalizing on their strong second serves. The Indo-Australian team of Bopanna and Ebden struggled to match this aspect of their opponents' game.

Earlier in the week, Bopanna and Ebden, who recently made it to the French Open semifinals, had secured a commanding victory of 6-4, 6-4 against the Austrian duo Alexander Erler and Lucas Miedler in the opening round of this prestigious ATP 500 grass court tournament.
