For the 43-year-old Bopanna, this will be his third appearance in a Wimbledon semi-final. He is on his quest to win the first men's doubles title, that too in his last season. The sixth-seeded Indo-Australian duo will now be up against the top-seeded Dutch-British pair Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski.
The unseeded Dutch duo stretched the opening set to the fullest before wrapping it in the tie-breaker in a 45-minute battle. Post that, they went on to break Bopanna-Ebden in the first game of the second set. From then the pair bounced back and pocketed the second set.
But Griekspoor-Stevens were not ready to give up easily as they made it 5-5 before Bopanna-Ebden duo got a break in the 11th game and retained their serve in the next to take the second set in 40 minutes.
In the last set, Bopanna-Ebden made things look easy, and wrapped up the match in one hour 54 minutes.
