In addition to his major titles, Bopanna reached the finals in mixed doubles at the twenty eighteen and twenty twenty-three Australian Opens, as well as in men's doubles at the twenty twenty-three US Open. His impressive record extends to every Masters 1000 tournament, where he has reached the final at least once. With a total of twenty-six doubles titles on the ATP Tour, including six at the Masters 1000 level, his victory at the twenty twenty-four Miami Open further established him as the oldest Masters winner.
