Novak Djokovic teases a 'young' Rohan Bopanna on his new ranking feat, from one World No. 1 to another

Rohan Bopanna has recently dominated the world of mixed doubles. He made his debut roughly 20 years ago, and this is his 17th appearance at the Australian Open. 

For the first time in many years, the Indian team advanced to the tournament’s semi-finals. Previously, he and his teammate Matthew Ebden reached the final of the 2023 US Open but lost to Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury.

Since then, they have advanced to the finals of the 2023 Shanghai Open and the semifinals of the 2023 ATP Finals. Bopanna and Ebden are unquestionably one of the world’s best doubles teams right now. Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden will be the top two players in the doubles standings, respectively.

Bopanna and Ebden cruise into Semifinals

Bopanna and Ebden have left an indelible impression on the event, winning all of their matches without dropping a set. Their flawless coordination and strong play reflect the kind of form that positions them as formidable competitors in the men’s doubles division.

The current triumph advances the duo into the semifinals, where they will face China’s Zhizhen Zhang and Czech Republic’s Tomas Machac. Zhang and Machac are not regulars on the doubles Tour, but the Chinese player has a doubles rating of 625, highlighting their individual strengths.

Bopanna and Ebden, with their consistent and dominant performances, emerge as clear favorites to win the forthcoming match.

The seasoned Indian-Australian pair’s chemistry on the court and ability to finish matches effectively make them a force to be reckoned with in the men’s doubles division.
