Great Britain’s Neal Skupski and new American partner Christian Harrison are through to the final of the men’s doubles at the Australian Open.
Skupski and Harrison, who are the sixth seeds and are playing together at a Grand Slam for the first time, defeated third seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos 6-3 7-6 (9-7).
Skupski, 36, played alongside fellow Briton Joe Salisbury in all four Grand Slams in 2025. The Spanish-Argentine pair ended their hopes of success in the French Open final, Wimbledon quarter-finals and US Open final.
Salisbury announced at the end of last season that he was taking a break from tennis because of anxiety and Skupski’s new partnership has immediately yielded another Grand Slam final appearance.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live: “There weren’t really many players around because a lot of doubles guys stick together.
“I landed on Christian, who I actually thought played the same side as me but he actually wanted to play on the deuce side, so that worked out.
“We’re very happy with how it’s going so far. No matter what happens on Saturday, we’ll take a lot of confidence and it would be nice to walk away with a trophy.”
Skupski and Harrison will face Jason Kubler and Marc Polmans in the final, after the Australian wildcards beat Britain’s Luke Johnson and Poland’s Jan Zielinski 6-2 3-6 6-3.
