Ebden's straight sets win over the 14th-seeded pair of Wesley Koolhof and Nikola Mektic in the third round assured him of a career high ranking of World No. 3.[60] They defeated the Argentinian pair of Máximo González and Andrés Molteni in the quarterfinals and Ebden reached a new career-high ranking of world No. 2.[61][62] He reached his second Australian Open final with a win in a three sets with a super tiebreaker close match over unseeded pair of Tomáš Macháč and Zhizhen Zhang.[63] Bopanna and Ebden won the Australian Open men's doubles in straight sets defeating the Italian duo of Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori.[64]

The pair decided not to defend their points at this year's 2024 Rotterdam Open and the 2024 Qatar Open. Since Ebden's next-best result for ranking purposes were better than Bopanna's, Ebden attained the World No. 1 doubles ranking when their 2023 points were replaced on 26 February 2024.[65][66] However he only held the top ranking for just one week because Bopanna reclaimed the top ranking once again on 4 March 2024 after winning his first round match at the Dubai Tennis Championships. Ebden failed to defend to defend his title at the 2024 Indian Wells Open. He lost in the first round to the Belgian duo of Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen after a closely contested match.[67] The following week, Ebden played at the 2024 Miami Open, where the pair went on to lift the trophy by defeating Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek in the final.[68] It was their second Masters 1000 as a pair, Bopanna's sixth and Ebden's second overall.[69]
