'Your Dedication Over Two Decades Is Inspirational': Kumble Pays Tribute To Bopanna On His Retirement
New Delhi: Former India cricketer and coach Anil Kumble paid a heartfelt tribute to India's tennis great Rohan Bopanna as the three-time Olympian announced his retirement, pulling curtains on a spectacular 20-year career.
“How do you bid farewell to something that gave your life its meaning? After 20 unforgettable years on tour, however, it’s my time… I’m officially hanging up my racquet,” the 45-year-old Bopanna wrote on Instagram on Saturday.
The former men's doubles No. 1 player amassed 26 tour-level doubles titles during his career, including the Australian Open in 2024 with Matthew Ebden. With that triumph, Bopanna rose to World No. 1 for the first time and became the oldest man to do so at 43 years. He is a gold medallist at the 2018 Asian Games in the men's doubles event, where he partnered with Divij Sharan.
