New York, USA, 3 September 2022 | Leigh Rogers

Australian players are enjoying a sensational season in doubles, as the US Open 2022 day six schedule highlights.

Reigning Australian Open champions Thanasi Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios feature in men’s doubles second-round action, as do Wimbledon champions Matt Ebden and Max Purcell.

These Aussie duos have created history this year, with their Grand Slam success marking the first time since 1982 that two different all-Australian combinations have won major men’s doubles titles in a single season.

Ebden is also excelling in mixed doubles, reaching the Wimbledon 2022 final alongside compatriot Sam Stosur. The Aussie pair are teaming up for the first time in New York and playing for a quarterfinal berth today.

“We’re doing well,” Ebden said after recording a comprehensive first-round win.

Ebden and Stosur are among six Australians to progress to the second round in the mixed doubles competition, the most to reach this stage at the tournament in 17 years.

The US Open is broadcast on the Nine Network and Stan Sport in Australia, with coverage beginning from 1am AEST.
