Known for his towering serve, dextrous net play, and competitive longevity, Bopanna has carved out a legacy that extends well beyond India\u2019s borders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Bow_at_the_Paris_Masters_2025\"><\/span>Final Bow at the Paris Masters 2025<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bopanna\u2019s farewell appearance took place at the prestigious Paris Masters (an ATP 1000 event) in 2025, where he paired with Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan.
