Rohan Bopanna has also returned to the top of the rankings, replacing Krajicek at the top of the doubles table. This is the sixth ATP title he has won, and it marks another chapter in the iconic career he has had so far.
The veteran has proven that age truly is just a number, having won the Australian Open earlier this year to set the record for the oldest champion himself. Bopanna and Ebden have a record of 14-3, and have been mighty impressive in the first three months of 2024.
