This thread is for the Mens and Mixed Doubles at the Australian Open.
We usually have a few chaps in the former event and one or two in the latter!

Full draws will be in the 1st posts (later today) and 2nd post (when released).

Lots of tennis coming up!

[Stell]

I know Koolhof and Skupski had a fantastic start to their pairing. So, I wouldn't be surprised if they had a very good run at the Australian Open

[Jane]

Jamie seems to have disappeared from the mixed doubles draw - I'm pretty sure he was there earlier in the week.

Jamie/Caty have withdrawn (don't know why) so only Neal Skupski is left for GBR

[Hawkeye]

Inglot/Skupski out of the men's doubles.

[Hawkeye]

Neal Skupski out of the mixed.

[Hawkeye]

Day isn't a complete write off as Joe and Rajeev cruise through.

[pabbers]

Jamie and Bruno out :crying:

[JAMES4578]

certainly disappointing with Jamie/Bruno going down 3-6,7-6(9-7), 6-3 to Bolelli/Fognini. Did not view though.

[exislander]

Koolhof/Skupski continue their winning streak 6-3 6-4 into the QF.

[Hawkeye]

They are joined by Ram/Salisbury.

[Jan]

Glad to see that Joe and Neal are still flying the flag! :GBflag:

[JAMES4578]

Good for Joe/Rajeev and Koolhof/Skupski!

[suttontennis]

Kyrgios and Kokkinakis into the SF to play Zeballos and Granollers.

[patmoren]

The doubles are holding up British tennis at the moment.

[Hawkeye]

Another stroll for Joe and Rajeev, as they beat Bolelli/Fognini 6-3 6-2 to reach the semis.

Joe is last Briton standing, as Koolhof/Skupski lost to Boden/Purcell 6-3 4-6 6-7(6).

[exislander]

The support of the Australian crowd encouraged their players to the win.

[Hawkeye]

And that support continues as it will be an all-Australian final.

[Sallydaisy]

Who'd have thunk it???
:no worries::taz::skippy::boomerang:

Good on 'em, and I'm especially chuffed for Kokkinakis.
The Final will be a cracker.

Joe and Rajeev had a good run.

[Sallydaisy]

There's also an Australian pair in the Mixed Doubles Final.
Kubler/Fourlis v Mladenovic/Dodig

[Silverdee]

I thought I had recorded the men’s semi finals doubles (Kyrgios) but something went wrong. Any idea how I can watch the replay? I can’t seem to find it.
Thanks

Well done the special K's! I am so happy for Kokkinakis after all he has been through the last few years.
