After an encouraging run at Wimbledon 2023, Rohan Bopanna climbed to World No 7 in the ATP doubles rankings, his best ranking in a decade.
Bopanna and Matt Ebden of Australia reached the semi-final of the Championships, which concluded on Sunday. The final four finish saw the Indian doubles star rise five places in the doubles charts.
At 43, Bopanna is the oldest player in the top-10 of ATP doubles rankings. He had achieved a career-high of World No 3 in July 2013.
