A win today, and Bopanna can realistically aim to become the oldest player to win a Grand Slam title -- one that is currently held by Dutchman Jean-Julien Rojer, who won the 2022 French Open men's doubles title at the age of 40 years and nine months. For the record, Bopanna is also the oldest to play in a Grand Slam final, a feat that he achieved at the 2023 US Open. He was 43 years and six months old.

On March 4, Bopanna will turn 44. And the Australian Open final is scheduled for January 27. But to reach there, Bopanna and Ebden will need to beat Machac and Zhang first.

Bopanna is also chasing a maiden Grand Slam title in the men's doubles. He does have a Slam trophy in his cabinet, though, which he earned at Roland Garros in 2017 by winning the French Open mixed doubles title with Gabriela Dabrowski of Canada.

The previous oldest men's doubles number one was Mike Bryan of the United States of America, at 41 years and 76 days. But the record for the oldest player to be ranked world number one in tennis belongs to multiple Paralympic Games gold medal winner, American David Wagner. He was 44 in 2018 when rocked the charts in the quad wheelchair rankings.

For what's worth, Roger Federer is the oldest men's singles number one at 36 and Serena Williams the oldest women's singles number one at 35.
