All 5 pairs featuring a Brit survived round one intact and with little trouble - good start.

Marcus at the Australian Open

2008: Sent home as a junior - didn't play a match

2009-2024: No activity

2025: Cam pulled out - didn't play a match

2026 - 18 years after first being there finally gets on court and beats the 15th seeds

It's been quite a journey for him

 Marcus sure creates some excellent stories smile

 

So that's doubles wins today for:

Marcus+

Henry+

Julian+ (in mixed)

In theory, at least, a title this AO could take Neal to WR1. In the life rankings, Henry is down to 9 as he and Harri defend their title. Joe has actually got a live jump to 8th; Neal sits in 5th. Marcus is up to 72.

Im sure a lot will change as the event unfolds.
