British Neil Skupski and new American partner Christian Harrison qualified for the men’s doubles final at the Australian Open.
Skupski and Harrison, seeded sixth and playing together in a Grand Slam for the first time, beat third seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos 6-3, 7-6 (9-7).
Skupski (36 years old) played alongside fellow Briton Joe Salisbury in all four major tournaments in 2025. The Spanish-Argentine duo ended their hopes of success in the final of the French Open, the quarter-finals of Wimbledon and the final of the US Open.
Salisbury announced at the end of last season that he was taking a break from tennis due to anxiety and Skupski’s new partnership immediately resulted in another Grand Slam final appearance.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live: “There weren’t a lot of players because a lot of doubles players stay together.
“I reached out to Christian, who I actually thought was playing on the same side as me, but he actually wanted to play on the Devils side, so it worked out.
He added, “We are very happy with the way things are going so far. Regardless of what happens on Saturday, we will have a lot of confidence and it would be nice to come away with the title.”
Skupski and Harrison will face Jason Kubler and Mark Polmans in the final, after the two Australians, with a wild card, defeated Briton Luke Johnson and Polish Jan Zielinski 6-2, 3-6, 6-3.
