Their best result was when they reached the quarterfinals of the 2017 ATP Montreal Masters 1000.

Pablo Busta/Pedro Martinez are making a return as partners after a long time. The duo last teamed up in 2022 and have played two matches together. In one of them, they surprisingly beat Bopanna and Denis Shapovalov in three setters at Madrid Open.

Prediction

Dodig and Bopanna are likely to win against Carreno Busta and Martinez at the 2024 Shanghai Masters. Their experience and past success give them an edge.

Dodig, ranked 25th in doubles, and Bopanna, ranked sixth, are both seasoned players. They have won combined 50 titles in their lifetime.In contrast, Carreno Busta (World No. 201 in doubles) and Martinez (No. 43) have less impressive doubles rankings. They’ve only played together twice in 2022, winning a single match.

Ivan Dodig’s serve can potentially give the duo age on hardcourts, with the Croatian hitting 2050 aces in his career. This powerful serving could be crucial on Shanghai’s hard courts.

Result: Rohan Bopanna/Ivan Dodig to win in straight sets.
