This is Rohan Bopanna-Matthew Ebden’s third men’s doubles semi-final this year. Bopanna and Ebden had also reached the semifinal of the Adelaide Open in January this year and made the title round before losing to Rajeev Ram (USA) and Joe Salisbury (UK).

The Bopanna-Ebden pair had won the Australian Open earlier this year. This was Bopanna’s, maiden grand slam.  He had attained a career-high world No. 1 ranking following the success but has slipped to second spot after a quarterfinal loss at the Dubai Championships and a round-of-32 exit at the Indian Wells Masters.
