11th-seeded team Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury triumphed in men's doubles at the 2020 Australian Open after defeating Max Purcell and Luke Saville in the final.
It was a dream run in Melbourne for players who will become no. 4 and 5 in doubles ranking next week. Ram & Salisbury were the only seeded team that was consistent and unlike the others, they did not lose to unseeded pairs. In the final, they faced home wild-cards, Max Purcell and Luke Saville.
En route to the final, Ram & Salisbury outplayed Evans/Smith, Sandgren/Withrow, Granollers/Zeballos, Kontinen/Stuff and Bublik/Kukushkin who were the only ones to win the set against the champions.
Despite the dream run of the Aussie team and great support in Rod Laver Arena, they did not have enough chances to overpower Ram & Salisbury. During the final, 2020 Australian Open champions did not allow their opponents to have a single breakpoint. On the other hand, they had 12 out of which they converted 3. That gave them a comfortable 6-4, 6-2 victory.

- 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".
