“Old is Gold.” 👑 Words of wisdom from the oldest singles and doubles No. 1’s in PIF ATP Rankings history 💪 @DjokerNole 🤝 @rohanbopanna
(VIDEO) Old but gold: Novak Djokovic celebrates unique ranking feat with Rohan Bopanna, gives superb tribute

Serbia’s tennis star Novak Djokovic has heaped praise on India’s legendary doubles star Rohan Bopanna. Both players are currently taking part in the singles and doubles category in the Monte-Carlo Masters.
In a video posted on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — on the page of ATP, Djokovic, who recently became the oldest number one player in the singles category, heaped praise on Bopanna who became the oldest world number one in the doubles category.
“We were just saying that we are combined 80 years old,” he said in the video. It’s not really balanced. It’s not 50-50. He brings more years to the 80s. But I think we’re still going strong. But it’s amazing to share the Tour with you for so many years and what an incredible moment to be the oldest No 1 in singles and doubles at the same time. It’s great for Serbian tennis and Indian tennis and hopefully, we can do something in India soon, we can play there. I really look forward to it.
“It’s a huge country, obviously humongous population and to have tennis at such a high level in India is extremely important for our sport and you are contributing to that along with [fellow Indian greats] Sania Mirza, [Mahesh] Bhupathi and [Laendar] Paez, who have paved the way. It’s amazing. We are old, but gold!”
