Season Highlights
The Indo-Aussie duo had a remarkable season, starting with a bang by winning the Australian Open in 2024. Bopanna became the oldest man at 43 years and 331 days to achieve the world No. 1 ranking. They also added the Miami Open title to their resume and reached the finals in Adelaide and the semi-finals at Roland Garros.
