Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson created history with their title-winning run in the US Open 2024 men’s doubles competition, becoming the first all-Australian team to triumph in New York in 28 years.
They were among six Australian men to capture titles this week, with a further four triumphing at ATP Challenger and ITF events across Asia.
The future of Australian tennis looks bright too, with several juniors claiming titles as well. This includes 17-year-old Benjamin Wenzel, who became the first Aussie junior wheelchair player to win a Grand Slam with his doubles triumph at the US Open.
This week’s outstanding performers include:
Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson: The Aussie duo improved their stunning season record to 37 wins from 43 matches with their US Open triumph. This is 26-year-old Purcell’s second Grand Slam title and 30-year-old Thompson’s first.
