Indian tennis veteran Rohan Bopanna, set to become the new world No. 1 in doubles, reached his first Australian Open final alongside partner Matthew Ebden. The duo triumphed over Zhang Zhizhen and Tomas Machac in a gripping semifinal clash, winning 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(10-7). Bopanna, eyeing his maiden Grand Slam men's doubles title at 43, faces the Italian pair of Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori in the final. If victorious, Bopanna will make history as the oldest man to win a Slam doubles title. The experienced duo also aims to become the oldest world No. 1 doubles pair.
