With Ankita as her partner, Sania can expect to complete an unfinished business: adding an Olympics medal to her trophy cabinet.
Following being accused of not qualifying for Olympics on merit, Bopanna shared an alleged phone call with AITA general secretary Anil Dhupar, where the official said qualification is possible.
The contest resumed with the 14th seed pair of Jean Julien-Roger and Andreja Klepac having a one-set lead and they finished on the right side of the result with a 6-3 3-6 11-9 scoreline.
Sania and Mattek-Sands suffered the defeat in straight sets.

Sania has been the lone Indian competing at the biggest stage of the game since 2005.
The 34-year-old winner of six Grand Slams in doubles took to Twitter to thank everyone for their help.
Sania will compete in four tournaments in the UK, starting with the Nottingham Open (June 6), Birmingham Open (June 14), Eastbourne Open (June 20) and Wimbledon (June 28).
The 34-year-old tennis star, who went on to win six doubles Grand Slams, said the injury left her in a vulnerable state of mind as she often 'burst into tears for no reason'.
Sania has already qualified for the Tokyo Olympics based on her protected ranking before she took a break from the game due to pregnancy.
The five-member team also has Karman Kaur Thandi, young Zeel Desai, who is making steady progress, and Rutuja Bhosale.
It was first tournament for the Indian since last February.
Sania and Andreja made short work of fourth seeds Anna Blinkova and Gabriela Dabrowski 6-2 6-0 to reach the last four round.
