It is Rohan Bopanna's tryst with destiny. The veteran Indian tennis player has never won a men's doubles Grand Slam before. He now stands a chance to do it at the ripe age of 43 - which would be a record in itself. Bopanna will on Saturday take the court along with Matthew Ebden for the Australian Open 2024 men's doubles final, where they are up against the Italian duo of Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori at the Rod Laver Arena.

Bopanna has already guaranteed himself the world number one crown, which will be his on Monday, January 29, 2024 when ATP publishes the updated rankings following the closure of the season-opening Grand Slam. He will displace the United States of America's Austin Krajicek from the numero uno throne.
The Indian tennis bulwark only seems to be getting better with age, and shattering record after record in the process. Bopanna's age-defying feat will admit him into the elite club of Mahesh Bhupathi, Leander Paes and Sania Mirza - the three other Indians to have been world number one in doubles.

Like his trailblazing compatriots, Bopanna too has a series of firsts to his name. At 43, Bopanna became the oldest tennis player to win an ATP Masters 1000 title when he was triumphant at the Indian Wells last year, alongside Ebden.
