• 2 minute read
British doubles stars Neal Skupski and Luke Johnson will both compete in the Australian Open men’s doubles semi-finals after impressive straight sets victories.
Sixth seeds Skupski and Christian Harrison breezed past Czechia’s Petr Nouza and Patrik Rikl 6-2, 6-3 in their quarter-final match.
Then Johnson and Jan Zielinski of Poland upset fourth seeds and 2024 Roland Garros champions Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic 7-6(2), 6-2.
It’s a landmark win for both players, who are competing at their first Grand Slam tournament with their respective partners.
The Skupski, Harrison partnership seems to be growing with each passing match and produced a high level in their quarter-final against the team who knocked out reigning champions Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara in the previous round.
