<h2><strong>Bopanna-Ebden celebrate after win</strong></h2>

<p>After winning the title at Melbourne Park on Saturday both Bopanna and Ebden went down on the court and were seen in celebratory mood. Soon both players picked themselves up and jumped together to pump their chests. They were later seen hugging one another and then pointing out to their stands where their friends and family members were present.</p>

<h2><strong>Bopanna-Ebden script history</strong></h2>

<p>Having achieved the World No.1 ranking earlier in the week (to be official on Monday), Bopanna scripted history at the Rod Laver arena in his 61st Grand Slam doubles appearance. In a contest that lasted almost 100 minutes, Bopanna and his Australian partner were at their fluent best and did not lose their serve in the entire match.</p>

<p>Both sets were close affairs with Boppana and Ebden going shoulder-to-shoulder with their Italian counterparts. With neither team ready to surrender their serve in the opening set it needed a tiebreaker to separate the pairs. However, Bopanna-Ebden were flawless in the tiebreak and won it without dropping a point to seize early advantage.</p>

At 43, Bopanna has his FIRST Men's Doubles Grand Slam title - and becomes the oldest to do so in the Open Era 👏👏<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AusOpen?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AusOpen</a> <a href="https://t.co/qs0JlrkMO7">pic.twitter.com/qs0JlrkMO7</a></p>

<p>The second set was also a close affair but both Bopanna and Ebden gained a break of serve and then held onto their own in a tight contest. The Indo-Australian pair then took full advantage of the break and held on their serve to win the epic final.</p>

<p>Before today’s victory, the 2017 French Open success with Gabriela Dabrowski was the only time the Indian veteran had won a Grand Slam title. Bopanna, now in his twilight has enjoyed a superb couple of years where he reached the final of the US Open Men’s doubles final and the Wimbledon semis.</p>
