Rohan Bopanna, 43, creates history, becomes oldest-ever Grand Slam champion
Bopanna also became the oldest player to achieve No.1 ranking in men's doubles.
Tennis star Leander Paes on Monday slipped to 101 after losing five places in the ATP doubles chart.
This was the first time that the tennis star dropped out of top-100 bracket in 19 years.
Paes (856 points) is now the fourth-highest ranked Indian player behind Rohan Bopanna (38), Divij Sharan (46) and Purav Raja (93).

Paes, winner of 18 Grand Slam titles, has not played since the US Open this year in September and made himself available for the Davis Cup tie against Pakistan later this month.
