Rohan Bopanna-Matthew Ebden partnership ends after the pair's group-stage exit at the #ATPFinals in Turin.

The Indo-Australian duo, which lost its first two group matches, beats Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz 7-5, 6-7(6), [10-7] but does not qualify for the semifinals.

Bopanna will play with Ivan Dodig in 2025.

The Bopanna-Ebden partnership began last year. They won titles in Doha & Indians Wells in 2023 while also finishing runner-up at the US Open.

This year, they clinched the #AusOpen title, which made Bopanna the oldest men's doubles Major champion in the Open Era & also helped him rise to 🔝 of #ATPRankings.
