Bopanna/Ebden survived a scare in the first round.
The duo of Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden had a successful 2023 season, clinching the titles at the Indian Wells Masters and the Doha ATP 250. They also made it to the finals and semifinals at various other tournaments, such as ATP Masters 1000 Madrid (Finals), Wimbledon (semifinals), US Open (Finals), ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai (Finals), ATP Masters 1000 Paris (Finals), and Nitto ATP Finals (Semifinals).
John Millman/Edward Winter are new kids on the blocks, they have been very good off-late and are coming of a win over Brazil’s Marcelo Demoliner and New Zealand’s Marcus Daniell.

Prediction
Bopanna and Ebden, being the more experienced pair, should have no trouble getting past John Millman and Edward Winter. The Indo-Australian pair are in their second season as a doubles team and have a good understanding on court.
Their debut season in 2023 was a memorable one, in which the pair finished second on the ATP Table. Bopanna was also the oldest finalist to play at the US Open, aged 43, when he and Ebden reached the final but lost to Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury.
Edward Winter and John Millman are less likely to threaten the No 2 seed in this match in spite of Bopanna and Ebden struggling a bit in the first round.
Result: Bopanna-Ebden to win in straight sets
