“Truly special. It’s called Tennis Paradise for a reason,” said Bopanna, who was playing in his 10th ATP Masters 1000 final. “I’ve been, over the years, coming here and seeing all these guys win for so many years. I’m really happy that Matt and I were able to do this and get this title here. The Indo-Australian pair had stunned defending champions John Isner and Jack Sock in the semi-finals, and downed Canada’s tennis stars Felix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov in the quarters.
