The due had sharpened their play in the second set, they improved their first-serve percentage and won more points behind their first and second serves.
Even though they made some unforced errors, the due won the points that mattered converting one of the three breakpoints and by saving the one breakpoint they faced to edge the seat.
Rohan Bopanna is now the lone surviving Indian in the US Open tournament after the exits of Divij Sharan and Sumit Nagpal.
