Matt Ebden, Australia’s top-ranked man in doubles, is having fun with a magical debut on the Madrid Open.

The 35-year-old from Perth, who’s contesting doubles for the primary time in his profession on the ATP Masters 1000 clay-court event, has progressed to the semifinals alongside Indian companion Rohan Bopanna.

The seventh-seeded duo impressively dismissed the world’s top-team, Wesley Koolhof of the Netherlands and Brit Neal Skupski, within the quarterfinals.

Ebden and Bopanna didn’t face a break level in a complete 6-3 6-2 victory and conceded solely 10 factors on serve within the one-hour encounter.

This units up a semifinal assembly with the eighth seeds, Santiago Gonzalez of Mexico and France’s Edouard Roger-Vasselin.

That is world No.22 Ebden’s second profession semifinal look at ATP Masters 1000 stage. He reached his first earlier this season throughout a title-winning run at Indian Wells with Bopanna.
