Acknowledging the Grand Slam feat of Rohan Bopanna, the All India Tennis Association (AITA) has decided to send his name to the government for this year's Arjuna award. Bopanna yesterday won his maiden Grand Slam title by winning the mixed doubled trophy at the French Open with Canada's Gabriela Dabrowski.In a release, the AITA has expressed the hope that this victory will definitely get him the Arjuna award which is long overdue, though his name was recommended quite a number of times before. When AITA Secretary General Hironmoy Chatterjee was reminded that the deadline to send application has already expired, Chatterjee said, they will still try to do it. Bopanna became only the fourth Indian to win a Grand Slam after Leander Paes, Mahesh Bhupathi and Sania Mirza.
