- Australian says rise to pinnacle of men’s tennis is ‘a little bit surreal’
- Swaps places with Rohan Bopanna after pair’s Australian Open win
Australian tennis player Matt Ebden says he has achieved a lifelong dream after securing the No 1 doubles rankings for the first time, taking the place of his 43-year-old partner Rohan Bopanna.
The swap between the pair in the top positions will occur when rankings are updated on Monday, and comes despite the Australian Open champions not having played a point since their heroics at Melbourne Park last month.
