Yearly summary

edit

Early hard court season

edit

Ebden alongside Bopanna reached the Adelaide International final in their first outing of the 2024 season, where they lost to the pair of Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury in a tight match 5–7, 7–5, [9–11].[2]

The pair continued their good performance in the 2024 Australian Open where he was seeded second for the first time in his career. Ebden's straight sets win over the 14th-seeded pair of Wesley Koolhof and Nikola Mektic in the third round assured him of a career high ranking of World No. 3.[3] They defeated the Argentinian pair of Máximo González and Andrés Molteni in the quarterfinals and Ebden reached a new career-high ranking of world No. 2.[4][5] He reached his second Australian Open final with a win in a three sets with a super tiebreaker close match over unseeded pair of Tomáš Macháč and Zhizhen Zhang.[6] Bopanna and Ebden won the Australian Open men's doubles in straight sets defeating the Italian duo of Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori.[7]
