Day 14: Skupski and Harrison claim first Grand Slam title together
Britain's Neal Skupski and American Christian Harrison were crowned men's doubles champions in Melbourne - marking their first Grand Slam title together since joining forces at the beginning of the year.
The British, American duo upset home favourites Jason Kubler and Marc Polmans 7-6(4), 6-4 in an hour and 50 minutes on the Rod Laver Arena.
It was a strong start for Skupski and Harrison, who were competing in just their second tournament together. The sixth seeded duo broke the Australian wild cards in the sixth game to surge to a 5-2 lead, before the Australians lifted their level in front of their home crowd.
Kubler, a former Australian Open men's doubles champion, exchanged baseline blows with Harrison and eventually recovered the deficit as the American sent a forehand wide.
The Aussie's made the faster start in the opening set tie-break but Skupski and Harrison produced the perfect response - reeling off five of the next six points to take a one set lead.
The British, American duo carried that momentum into the second where they sealed an early break in the third game and remained dominant on serve throughout, winning 80% of points behind their first serve.
Despite the pressure of serving for his first major title on his shoulders, Harrison showed no signs of nerves as he clinically closed out the win on their second championship point with an 11th ace of the match.
Wheelchair: Knoesen finishes boys' wheelchair runner-up

Matthew Knoesen finished as runner-up for the second day in a row as British interest in the Australian Open came to a close on Saturday, but the young Brit was still able to look back with pride on a ‘special week’ for his Grand Slam debut.
Knoesen, aged just 13, finished top of the round-robin singles draw after remaining unbeaten in three matches across Wednesday and Thursday, including a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Belgian and junior world No.1 Alexander Lantermann.
However, Knoesen was unable to repeat that performance on Saturday, as the Lantermann was quick out of the blocks in Saturday’s final, putting unrelenting pressure on Knoesen’s serve before claiming victory 6-0, 6-2.
Knoesen was also runner-up in Friday’s boys’ doubles final alongside Australia's Arlo Shawcross, after losing out to fellow Brit Lucas de Gouveia and Lantermann 6-2, 6-3.
Reflecting on his debut in a junior Grand Slam tournament, Knoesen said: “Congratulations to Alex. You sensed our last match and came back and absolutely just flipped the switch and you showed us why there’s that No.1 next to your name on the board.
“Thank you to the organisation for making this happen. I said it yesterday, but you raise the bar so high and today you did it again. Thank you for making this such an amazing tournament and for making this such a special week for me. “

Neal Skupski booked his place in the third round of the Australian Open men’s doubles alongside American partner Christian Harrison, but there was an upset for top seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool.
Norrie loses four set battle with Zverev
Norrie had chances in the opening set having taken an early break and 2-0 lead, but as Zverev started to find his range on serve, the match became increasingly difficult for the Brit.
Having got back on level terms, Zverev took advantage on a few tight shots from the Brit to clinch the decisive break at 5-5.
Into the second set and Norrie showed nerves of steel to see off three break points at 2-2, before levelling the match at the first time of asking with a rocket return on set point.

However, Emma Raducanu and Arthur Fery both lost their second round matches after a tricky start to the day for the British hopefuls.

Norrie beats Nava to move into third round
Norrie showed his quality and experience to see off Nava in a four-set battle over three hours and 20 minutes.
The British No.2 blitzed through the opening set and came back from a break down twice in the second to see claim a 2-0 lead after an impressive tie-break performance.
The American wasn’t going down without a fight and with the chance to serve out another set, Nava made no mistakes – giving himself a lifeline in the fourth set.
The windy conditions had played its part throughout and rain bought the match to a halt in a crucial moment at 4-3 in the fourth set tie-break.
Coming out of the delay, Norrie dealt with the pressure perfectly, hitting two big first serves to set up three match points before closing out a hard-fought victory.
Raducanu exits to Potapova

Raducanu would come to regret missed opportunities in the opening set against world No.55 Potapova, with the Brit having led by a break three times and having the chance to serve for the set at 5-4.
However, the Briton had struggles on her own serve – winning just 45% (27/60) points on serve throughout the match.
It was in the first set tie-break that Potapova started to pull away in the match. Having taken a 5-2 lead, the Austrian claimed a fourth mini break to see out the set after an hour.
The 24-year-old seized her moment racing out to an early 3-0 and double break lead in the second set, before a third break all but sealed Raducanu’s fate.
The British No.1 leaves Melbourne having reached the second round at the Australian Open for a fifth straight year but misses out on the opportunity to clash with world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in the third round.

Fery’s run ends in second round

Fery’s victory over 20th seed Flavio Cobolli was one of the stories of the day one at Melbourne Park, but the fairytale run was brought to an end against Etcheverry.
The Briton led by a break and had a further four break points against the Etcheverry serve in the opening set, but the world No.62 showed his resolve and experience to overcome Fery in the tie-break.
Etcheverry ran away with the second set, winning six game straight games, but Fery had a chance again in the third.
The world No.186 had two break points on 15-40 at 2-2, but failed to convert. With the match on the line, Etcheverry clinched his final decisive break at 4-3 before comfortably serving out the victory.
Doubles: Cash and Glasspool get campaign underway
No.1 men's doubles seeds Cash and Glasspool made a winning start in Melbourne - defeating Ariel Behar and Joran Vliegen 7-6(2), 6-4.
They will now play wild cards James McCabe and Li Tu in the second round.
Skupski and Harrison made their Grand Slam debut together with a 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 comeback win over Jakob Schnaitter and Mark Walliner.
The sixth seeds will face Pedro Martinez and Jaume Munar in the next round.
Sonay Kartal and Katie Boulter went out in the first round of the Australian Open after losing out against two seeded players on day three in Melbourne.
British No.2 Kartal bowed out against 31st seed and last year’s Citi Open runner-up Anna Kalinskaya 7-6(3), 6-1 in an hour and 39 minutes.
Boulter also lost out against 10th seed Belinda Bencic 6-0, 7-5 in her opening match on the Margaret Court Arena.
Meanwhile, British No.1 Olivia Nicholls and Luke Johnson made winning starts in the doubles draws.
Kartal knocked out by 31st seed Kalinskaya
Kartal was left ‘frustrated’ after her first round exit to Kalinskaya with the British star unable to capitalise on her early opportunity in the match.
The 24-year-old led by a break at 3-1 early in the opening set, but Kalinskaya was quick to overturn the deficit in the following game.
While it was a slow start for Kalinskaya, the Russian grew into the match and her big-hitting groundstrokes and powerful serve proved the difference – hitting 33 winners to Kartal’s 14.
Despite having to replay a point after a loose ball landed on court at the start of the tie-break, Kalinskaya consolidated the early mini break with a big forehand winner before seeing out the set on serve.
Kalinskaya continued to shift through the gears in the second set, racing out to a 5-0 lead before closing out the match in an hour and 39 minutes.
Kartal will return to action tomorrow in the women’s doubles alongside Isabelle Haverlag against eighth seeds Ellen Perez and Demi Schuurs.
Boulter defeated by in-form Bencic

It was a challenging match up for Boulter up against one of the in-form players on the WTA Tour.
Bencic went undefeated in five matches at the United Cup, including wins over Iga Swiatek and Jasmine Paolini, and the 10th seed carried her impressive form into the Australian Open.
The Swiss star came out the blocks flying and took advantage of a slow start from Boulter – who hit 11 unforced errors in the opening set. Bencic reeled off the first six games in just 27 minutes to take a one set lead.
Boulter looked a different player at the start of the second set and the Brit let out a huge roar as she connected on a forehand winner to claim her first game of the match.
It was a gutsy second set from Boulter, who came back from a break down to draw level at 4-4, but Bencic had the quality in the decisive moments.
At 5-5, a punishing forehand from the 2021 Tokyo Olympic gold medallist sealed a second break of the set, before going on to serve out the opening round win.
Doubles: Nicholls & Johnson get underway with wins
12th seeds Nicholls and Tereza Mahilkova made a dream start in the Australian Open women's doubles - beating Anna Bondar and Jacqueline Cristian 6-3, 6-2.
The British, Slovakian duo saved two break points in the third game of the match before cruising to victory in an hour and 13 minutes.
Next up they will play either Priscilla Hon and Ashlyn Krueger or Storm Hunter and Maya Joint.
In the men's doubles, Johnson and Jan Zielinski came back from a set down to beat Rinky Hijikata and Tristan Schoolkate 6-7(3), 7-5, 6-4.
They now face either last year's runners-up Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori or Ray Ho and Hendrik Jebens.
It wasn't to be for the Brits on the second day of action in Melbourne as Jacob Fearnley and Francesca Jones lost out in their opening matches.
The British No.3 Fearnley fought back from two sets down to win the third but eventually lost out to Polish world No.59, Kamil Majchrzak as he lost out 7-6(2), 7-5, 3-6, 7-6(3) over three and a half hours.
Jones dug deep against Polish qualifier Linda Klimovicova but was forced to come off court injured after just 58 minutes with the score standing at 6-2, 3-2.
Fearnley missed out over four sets

Despite closely fought games in the opening two sets, Fearnley was unable to capitalise on his serve. After losing the first set in the tie-break, the Brit had three break points come and go at 4-4 before the Polish star took the set with his third break of the match.
Fearnly seemed to have switched momentum in his favour during an impressive third set, tightening up on his serve and seizing his opportunities to break twice at the end of the set.
However, an awkward fall for Fearnley at 3-1 proved to be the turning point, allowing his opponent to fight back into the match. Majchrzak looked unstoppable in the final tie-break as a double fault from Fearnley following a long ball sealed his fate.
Injured Jones lost out to qualifier

Jones' chances of bagging a win in her main draw debut in Melbourne were hindered by a glute injury throughout her match against the world No.134.
With her movement limited, the 25-year-old battled through the first set, unable to make any headway despite an early opportunity to break. Losing her serve at 2-2 gave the Pole the opening she needed to round up the next three games and the set.
Following a medical timeout in between sets, the Brit valiantly returned for a second but needed further attention on court.
A break to love in the fifth game halted play once more before the Brit made the call to end the match.
The British stars have made a winning start at the Australian Open with Arthur Fery, Emma Raducanu and Cam Norrie booking their spots in the second round.
Qualifier Fery produced one of the upsets of the tournament so far – defeating 20th seed Flavio Cobolli in straight sets.
Playing in his first Grand Slam outside of Wimbledon, Fery beat the world No.22 7-6(1), 6-4, 6-1 in two hours and 14 minutes.
Raducanu overcame Thailand’s Mananchaya Sawangkaew 6-4, 6-1 in just 72 minutes on the Margaret Court Arena.
Meanwhile, Norrie had to fight through five sets against France’s Benjamin Bonzi as he secured a 6-0, 6-7(2), 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory.
Fery equals career best win
Having missed the opportunity to serve out the opening set at 5-4 and then missing a break point at 5-5, world No.185 Fery dominated the tie-break to seize the lead.
From 3-3 in the second set, it was all one way traffic. Fery broke three more times in the final set and a half and showed great composure in one of the biggest moments of his career to see out the win.
This is the joint biggest victory of Fery’s career and second time he's beaten the 20th seed at a Grand Slam - securing a win over Alexei Popyrin at Wimbledon last year. The young Briton will now move on to play Argentina’s Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the next round.
Raducanu races into round two

After a slow start, Raducanu wasted no time in booking her place in the second round for a fifth year in a row.
The Brit found herself 3-1 down in the opening set and saved two break points in what proved a pivotal game in the match.
Raducanu quickly found her form and repeatedly punished the Sawangkaew serve with some impressive returns deep into her opponent’s court.
Once she got the break back, all momentum was with the British star. After winning the first set, the Briton continued to dominate the rallies and broke again to start the second set.
Sawangkaew only managed to win 39% (7/19) points on her serve in the second set, as Raducanu cruised her way into the second round.
There, she will meet Austrian Anastasia Potapova, with a potential clash with Aryna Sabalenka waiting in the third round.
Norrie comes through in five sets

It looked like it would be plain sailing for Norrie after he blasted through the opening set against Bonzi in just 25 minutes.
However, Bonzi seemed to flick a switch from the second set and despite failing to convert on all six break points, managed to see out the tie-break before going a double break up in the third.
It was then Norrie’s turn to raise the level and energy, with the former top 10 star upping the intensity and the aggression. After saving four break points in the opening game of the fourth, Norrie took a commanding 4-1 lead and wrestled all momentum back in his favour.
Norrie lost to Bonzi in their previous meeting in the 2024 Metz final, but this time the Briton’s level was too good for the Frenchman. With a single break lead in the decider, Norrie served out the match to love – securing his ninth five-set win of his career.
Awaiting him in the second round will be American world No.88 Emilio Nava.
