Several Aussie favourites, including world No.1 Storm Hunter, have advanced to the final stages of the doubles events at Australian Open 2024.

It means there are plenty of local contenders in action on day 11 at Australian Open 2024.

Hunter is eyeing a spot in the women’s doubles semifinals, with world No.4 Matt Ebden looking to reach the same stage in the men’s doubles competition.

“We’re playing well and fighting strong,” Ebden said of his chances to progress to the final four alongside Indian partner Rohan Bopanna.

Two all-Australian teams also feature in the mixed doubles semifinals. Olivia Gadecki and Marc Polmans are aiming to better last year’s loss at this stage, while Jaimee Fourlis and Andrew Harris are hoping to continue their giant-killing run.

Australia’s No.1 wheelchair player Heath Davidson will also contest the quad wheelchair singles quarterfinals, while four of our leading teenage prospects have a chance to reach that stage in the junior singles competitions.

Aussie fans truly are spoilt for choice today, whether they are courtside at Melbourne Park or watching on television.

The tournament is broadcast live in Australia on the Nine Network and Stan Sport, with play beginning from 11am AEDT.
