India's Rohan Bopanna and Ramkumar Ramanathan on Sunday completed their perfect debut as a pair on the ATP tour by winning the Adelaide International 1 title. The duo clinched their first ATP title by upsetting the top-seeded Croatian-Brazilian duo Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo 7-6(6), 6-1. Prior to Adelaide, Bopanna and Ramkumar had played just one game together in Davis Cup.

Context
Why does it matter?
  • Adelaide International is Ramkumar's first ATP trophy.
  • It is Bopanna's 20th overall ATP title.
  • The world number 43's last ATP title victory came in 2020 in Doha Open.
  • With this win, Ramkumar and Bopanna have proved themselves to be a suited pair in men's doubles, which is good news for India as they are set to play Denmark in Davis Cup later this year.
Match
How the match panned out?

Bopanna and Ramkumar were a force to reckon with during the Adelaide final match against Dodig and Melo. They hammered nine aces in the match as compared to three by the Croatian-Brazilian duo. Dodig and Melo had one double faults while the Indian committed the same mistake twice. Overall, Bopanna and Ramkumar won 64 points while their opponent managed to win just 51.
