Bopanna's victory will elevate him to the pinnacle of the rankings upon Monday's update, reclaiming his ATP World No.1 status achieved earlier this year in January, marking him as the oldest player to accomplish this feat.

On Thursday, at Rod Laver Arena, the second-seeded Indo-Aussie duo triumphed over Zhizhen and Machac with a 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (10-7) victory.

The second seed Indo-Australian duo defeated 14th-seeded Dutch-Croatian pair of Wesley Koolhof and Nikola Mektic 7-6 (10-8), 7-6 (7-4) to enter the last eight stage.

The Indo-Australian pair encountered strong resistance from Granollers and Zeballos. Both teams held their serves in the initial set until Rohan and Abden secured a crucial break point in the 12th game, securing the lead.

The Indians had earlier trounced American Jamie Cerretani and Brazilian Fernando Romboli 6-2 6-1 in the opening round on Tuesday.
