Yearly summary[edit]

Early hard court season[edit]

Bopanna alongside Ebden reached the Adelaide International final in their first outing of the 2024 season,[3] where they lost to the pair of Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury in a tight match 5–7, 7–5, [9–11].[3]

At the 2024 Australian Open, seeded second for the first time in Bopanna's career, the Indian/Australian duo reached the third round with a straight sets win over the 14th-seeded pair of Wesley Koolhof and Nikola Mektic,[4] Bopanna's 500th doubles win,[5] that assured him a career high ranking of world No. 2.[6] Bopanna was in contention with Austin Krajicek for the ATP No. 1 doubles ranking and he achieved it with the quarterfinal win over the Argentinian pair of Máximo González and Andrés Molteni.[7] He also became the oldest first-time world No. 1 at age 43.[8][9][10][11] Bopanna and Ebden reached their first Australian Open final with a tight win in three sets with a super tiebreaker over the unseeded pair of Tomáš Macháč and Zhizhen Zhang.[12] In the final, they won in straight sets, defeating the Italian duo of Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori.[13] It was Bopanna's first doubles Major title. It took him 61 attempts and 19 partners to accomplish the feat. [14]
