Rohan Bopanna/Matt Ebden vs Mate Pavic/Marcelo Arevalo live updates, Monte Carlo Masters 2024

Hello and welcome to Khel Now's live blog of the Rohan Bopanna/Matt Ebden vs Mate Pavic/Marcelo Arevalo match at the Monte Carlo Masters 2024. Please wait for the blog to load.

World No. 1 pair Rohan Bopanna and Mathew Ebden begin their season at the 2024 Monte Carlo Masters against former world No. 1 pair Mate Pavic and Marcelo Arevalo. The India-Australia team has made 2024 their year and dominated most of their opponents.

True to the saying that aging wine tastes better, the couple seems to get better with age. Above all, Rohan Bopanna, the oldest No. 1 doubles player in history, is playing his best tennis and leaving others in awe of the 44-year-old. His camaraderie with his doubles partner Mathew Ebden was one of the highlights of the season.

In the second round they will face the young team of Mate Pavic and Marcelo Arevalo. The Croatian-El Salvadorian duo had a steady start to the first round, winning in straight sets 6-4, 6-4 against Grigor Dimitrov and Sebastian Korda. The duo will face their biggest challenge at this ATP 1000 event as they attempt to defeat the No. 1 seed.

Rohan Bopanna/Mathew Ebden vs. Mate Pavic/Marcelo Arevalo preview

Rohan Bopanna started the season with a bang, becoming the oldest player to win a Grand Slam in the Open era when he shared the Australian Open trophy with Mathew Ebden. It is his first Grand Slam doubles title after winning the French Open mixed doubles title in 2017. For someone who was thinking about retiring, this is like a new life.

Their opponents in the round of 16 are preparing to face the title favorites. The Pavic-Arevalo partnership had a tough 2024. Despite starting the year with an ATP 250 title in Hong Kong, there was no way they could get past the third round. A win here would give her confidence a huge boost as the clay court season begins with the Monte Carlo Masters.

The world number 1 and the top seeded pair Bopanna/Ebden go into the competition as favorites. The Indian seems to be enjoying the game more than ever, fans only noticing the gray facial hair while his game plan remains crystal clear. It is his partnership with Ebden that has changed Bopanna's mindset from considering retirement to becoming a dominant tennis player at Grand Slams and ATP events.

After winning the Australian Open earlier this year, the duo are keen to add more Grand Slam titles. They have dominated net points in particular and are looking to continue that trend. On the other hand, Pavic and Arevalo, who won against two singles players in the first round, will have to be at their best to beat the favorites.

Notably, Mate Pavic, a three-time Grand Slam champion, is adept at winning big matches and could spring an upset against the Indian-Australian pair. However, given the form of Bopanna and Ebden, they could progress at the end of the game.

Result: Rohan Bopanna/Mathew Ebden win in straight sets
