Golden Era Over, But Indian Tennis Will Have Another Grand Slam Winner Soon: Rohan Bopanna

By IANS News March 25, 2026 • 14:40 PM View: 170

When Rohan Bopanna: When Rohan Bopanna decided to quit the international circuit in November 2025, Indian tennis fans had only one question on their mind -- will India produce another Grand Slam winner in the next few years?

Bopanna won the Men's Doubles title at the Australian Open 2024 with local star Matthew Ebden to add to the Mixed Doubles crown he claimed at the 2017 French Open, Gabriela Dabrowski. His 2024 title made Bopanna, at 43 years, 10 months, and 24 days, the oldest major winner in the Open Era.

Bopanna's retirement brought the curtains down on a golden era of Indian tennis -- a quarter century of excellence at the Grand Slam level started by the venerable Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi and taken forward by Bopanna and Sania Mirza.
