Indian tennis player Rohan Bopanna scripted history by becoming the oldest major winner at the age of 43. In fact, he was on the verge of giving up on tennis a few years ago. So, it turned out to be an emotional win not only for him but for his family as well.
Just as Bopanna and his partner Matthew Ebden were celebrating their victory in the finals of the Australian Open men’s doubles, the cameraman found Bopanna’s wife Supriya Annaiah in tears. Bopanna later walked up to his box that was occupied by his wife, daughter Tridha, in-laws and coach Scott Daviddoff.
While speaking at the presentation, Bopanna recalled his decision to retire a few years ago because of a winless streak of over five months. He thanked his wife Supriya and daughter Tridha for all their love and support. He stated that it was perseverance which kept him going.
