The draw has been released for the 2020 Australian Open Men's Doubles draw with top seeds and defending champions Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut set to face Simone Bolelli and Benoit Paire in the first round.
Lukas Kubot and Marcelo Melo are second seeds at the Australian Open; they will face the all Argentinian pairing of Guillermo Duran and Diego Schwartzman.
Mate Pavic was defending champion before losing the titles to Herbert and Mahut last year; but the pairing of himself and Oliver Marech have gone their separate ways.
They are now teaming with Bruno Soares and Raven Klaasen, both quality doubles players in their own right and are 10th and 9th seeds respectively.
Among the other ties include Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski, who are 14th seeds and will take on established singles stars Hubert Hurkacz and Vasek Pospisil.
As well in that Raven Klaasen and Oliver Marach match is two young prospects in Miomir Kecmanovic and Caspur Ruud in what is an intriguing tie.

- He's a Cool Dude (and very funny guy). Always fun to be in the presence of Tomasz. Something he mentioned here is what many who have coached at any level can relate to -- "the crazy parents committee". It relates to my coaching experiences in kid's sports. My #1 complaint about coaching kids is Problem Parents!! It can be a very abusive, even violent situation with many parents when it comes to their kid's sports. In the end, it was no longer worth the potential (all too common) altercations for me and I quit. But thanks to Tomasz, I now have a name for those (you?) people: The Crazy Parents Committee.mandoist26-09-2024
