Bopanna wins Australian Open men’s doubles title at age 43, a record in the Open era

Associated Press  

MELBOURNE, Australia — At 43, Rohan Bopanna became the oldest man to win a Grand Slam doubles title in the Open era when he combined with Matt Ebden on Saturday for a 7-6, 7-5 victory over Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori in the Australian Open final. At 43 years and 329 days, Bopanna is the oldest by three years to win a men’s doubles major in the Open era. It was a third Grand Slam doubles title for Ebden, who won the mixed title in Melbourne 11 years ago and the men’s doubles at Wimbledon two years ago. Bopanna became the third man from India to win a Grand Slam doubles title after Leander Paes, who won eight, and Mahesh Bhupathi, who won four.
