Matt Ebden's dream of becoming the world's top doubles player may be over for another year - but now he has his sights set on becoming a global champion for Australia with another partner.
Ebden endured an anti-climactic end to his title push at the ATP Finals when he and ageless Indian star Rohan Bopanna got knocked out in Saturday's semi-final in Turin.
But though he looked hugely disappointed as the defeat ruined their chances of ending the year as the world's No.1 team, there was no time for Ebden to feel sorry for himself as he flew from Italy to Spain to join up with Australia's Davis Cup team in Malaga.
