Former PIF ATP doubles number one Rohan Bopanna announced his retirement on Saturday.
The Indian star has won 26 tour-level doubles titles in his career, including the 2024 Australian Open title with Matthew Ebden. With this victory, Bopanna became the world’s number one for the first time and became the oldest world number one at the age of 43.
“How do you say goodbye to something that gives your life meaning? However, after 20 unforgettable years of touring, it is now my time…I am officially hanging up my racket,” Bopanna, 45, wrote on Instagram.
“Tennis is more than just a sport to me – it gives me purpose when I’m lost, strength when I’m broken, and faith when the world doubts me.”
Bopanna won the Tag Team Championship with 15 different players during his career, starting in 2003. He won his first title with Eric Butorak in Los Angeles in 2008 and has since accumulated 539 tour-level wins, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index.
In 2010, he reached the first Grand Slam final with Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi at the US Open, but then lost in the 2023 New York match against Ebdon at the same stage. However, at the next Grand Slam in Melbourne, Bopanna and Ebden turned grief into glory and won their first Grand Slam title.
Bopanna also finished runner-up at the Nitto ATP Finals in 2012 and 2015, along with Mahesh Bhupathi and Florin Mergea respectively. The Indian won his only mixed doubles Grand Slam title at Roland Garros in 2017 with Gabriella Dabrowski.
He recently competed in the Rolex Paris Masters, where he partnered with Alexander Bublik and lost in the first round to John Pierce and JJ Tracy, 5-7, 6-2, 8-10.
