Rohan Bopanna Makes History with Sixth ATP Masters 1000 Title at Miami Open 2024

Indian Tennis Ace Breaks Own Record in Thrilling Men's Doubles Final alongside Matthew Ebden

Rohan Bopanna has etched his name in the annals of tennis history once again, securing his sixth ATP Masters 1000 title at the Miami Open 2024. Teaming up with Australian partner Matthew Ebden, the duo staged a remarkable comeback from a set down to clinch victory in a gripping men's doubles final against Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek.

Last year, at the age of 43, Bopanna claimed the Indian Wells title and reclaimed the top spot in doubles rankings. This latest triumph cements his legacy as the oldest Masters 1000 champion, returning him and Ebden to the pinnacle of men's doubles rankings.

Speaking on his achievement, Bopanna expressed his determination to excel in the Masters 1000s and Grand Slams, maintaining his record-breaking streak and challenging his competitors.

The thrilling final saw Bopanna and Ebden overcome a tough challenge, ultimately triumphing with a 6-7, 6-3, 10-6 victory in the decisive tie-breaker. Their journey to the title included a semifinal victory over Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos.

Following their Australian Open triumph earlier this year, where they emerged victorious against Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori, Bopanna and Ebden are poised for success at the upcoming French Open.

With their stellar performance in both the Australian and Miami Open finals, the duo has proven their prowess on the court, solidifying their status as formidable contenders for the men's doubles title. As they gear up for the French Open, all eyes will be on Bopanna and Ebden as they aim to add another Grand Slam title to their illustrious careers.
