India’s Sriram Balaji continued his impressive Grand Slam run by advancing to the second round of men’s doubles at Roland-Garros 2025, making it three Indian players in the Round 2 of the doubles draw this year.

Partnering with Mexico’s Miguel Ángel Reyes-Varela, Balaji secured a comfortable straight-sets win in his opening round encounter. The duo looked sharp and cohesive throughout the match, breezing past their opponents with confidence and control.

🔹 This marks Balaji’s third consecutive Grand Slam Round 2 appearance, and notably, his second in a row at Roland-Garros – a testament to his growing consistency and presence at the majors.

In the second round, Balaji and Reyes-Varela await a tough challenge. They will face the winner of the clash between the 4th-seeded Italian pair Simone Bolelli/Andrea Vavassori and the French wildcard duo Pierre-Hugues Herbert/Nicolas Mahut, both of whom bring considerable experience and pedigree to the court.

With Balaji joining Rohan Bopanna and Yuki Bhambri in the Round of 2, it’s a proud moment for Indian tennis fans, showcasing the growing depth and presence of Indian talent in the doubles format on the Grand Slam stage.
