Source publication date:
Christian Harrison and Neal Skupski won the Australian Open men’s doubles title by beating Australians Jason Kubler and Marc Polmans 7–6(4), 6–4. The final delivered Harrison’s first Grand Slam trophy and added a Melbourne title to Skupski’s career achievements.
The winners had resumed their partnership during the off-season in Baton Rouge after qualifying for the previous ATP Finals with different partners. Their first shared professional appearance dated to a Futures tournament in Glasgow in January 2013, when they lost their opening match.
Harrison’s title followed a career disrupted by eight surgeries between 2009 and 2018. Skupski had previously reached Melbourne quarterfinals in 2022 and 2023. Both praised the challenge of facing a home pair in front of an enthusiastic Australian crowd.
