India’s Rohan Bopanna will become the oldest tennis world number one aged 43 after he and Matthew Ebden reached the Australian Open doubles semi-finals.
Bopanna and Australian Ebden beat Argentine pair Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni 6-4 7-6 (7-5).
It is the first time Bopanna has reached the top of the world rankings.
“People all over the world, you know, being 40 and above, I think it’s just going to inspire them in a different way,” he said.
