India's Rohan Bopanna became the oldest ATP Masters 1000 champion when he and his Australian partner Matt Ebden claimed the men's doubles crown at the BNP Paribas Open.
The 43-year-old Bopanna and Ebden, 35, defeated top-seeded Wesley Koolhof of the Netherlands and Neil Skupski of Britain 6-3, 2-6, 10-8 in the final on Saturday. "Truly special.
It's called Tennis Paradise for a reason," said Bopanna, who was playing in his 10th ATP Masters 1000 final. "I've been, over the years, coming here and seeing all these guys win for so many years.
I'm really happy that Matt and I were able to do this and get this title here. "It's been some tough matches, close matches.
