Bopanna, who turned 43 this year, is the oldest player to ever rank as the World No. 1 and the third Indian to do so (after two-time champion Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes).

The 37-year-old hasn’t played since suffering a hip flexor injury during a loss in the Australian Open’s second round in January of last year.
