When questioned about his achievement of reaching the tournament's semi-finals, the indian tennis maestro stated that it was a memorable occasion for him. Bopanna hailed his staff, especially his teammate Matthew Ebden, for their accomplishment. In an emotional on-court interview, Bopanna revealed that his career had many highs and lows. In addition, Bopanna became the oldest male tennis player in history to reach the world number one position.

"I'd want to thank my team members who are here; they've obviously gone through some difficult times. The career peak occurred in 2013, and you know you have to keep climbing, what can you say? Never hold back, so many thanks to everyone. Most importantly, I would want to thank my partner Matt, with whom I will achieve this rating. So, very wonderful, and you know it'll always be a beautiful memory here," Boappana said during the on-court interview.
