Behind the high-pressure moments Rohan faced during the 2017 French Open and while winning various Davis Cups at the Olympic Games, his wife, Supriya, showed a lot of support.

He had experienced an array of losses but credited his wife, Supriya and daughter, Tridha, for their unconditional support. Rohan had shared:

"My beautiful wife, Supriya, & my daughter, Tridha.. thank you for all the support, all the love. I know a couple years ago I sent her a video message & said 'I'm gonna call it a day.' Because I wasn't winning matches at all. I went 5 months without winning a match. I thought that was gonna be the end of my journey. Perseverance inside me just kept me going. I really changed so many things & found a wonderful partner."

This could happen at the age of 25, 30 or even 40. For Rohan, his second Grand Slam success came at 43, and he credited his wife, Supriya, for it. Rohan also shared that this thing was told to him in sports, in life, in marriage, and while having kids. Rohan and Supriya had a traditional Koidava wedding after dating for a year.
