Bopanna-Ebden to face final in Melbourne

In Australian Open Tennis, India’s Rohan Bopanna and his Australian partner Matthew Ebden will face Italy’s Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori in the Men’s Doubles Final in Melbourne today. The match will start at 3.15 PM, IST.

In the Semifinals, the star duo defeated Germany’s Yannick Hanfmann and Dominik Koepfer by 6-3, 3-6, 7-6. This is the second straight Men’s doubles final for the Indo-Australian pair as the duo had finished as runner-up at last year’s US Open.

Earlier this week, Bopanna created history by becoming the oldest tennis player, at the age of 43, to achieve the world No. 1 ranking in men’s doubles.
