Matt Ebden has the chance to create history on day 12 at Roland Garros 2024.

The 36-year-old from Perth is looking to continue his career-best run at the tournament and advance to the men’s doubles final alongside Indian partner Rohan Bopanna.

The second seeds face Italian combination, world No.23 Simone Bolelli and world No.20 Andrea Vavassori, in a rematch of the Australian Open 2024 final.

This is the fourth meeting between these two teams this season, with world No.3 Ebden and world No.4 Bopanna winning two of their three previous encounters.

If Ebden wins his semifinal, he will become the first Australian to reach men’s doubles finals at the Australian Open and Roland Garros in the same year since Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde in 1997.
