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.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
