Krejčíková and Siniaková won their 23rd match in a row at the “big four tournaments”. In addition to the triumph in Melbourne, they also won Wimbledon and the US Open last year. They only failed at Roland Garros, where Krejčík had to withdraw due to a positive test for the coronavirus.
They are in the doubles final at the Australian Open for the third time in a row and will attack for a total of seven Grand Slam titles. The Japanese pair of Šúko Aojamaová and Ena Šibaharaová defeated the second seeded American Cori Gauffová and Jessica Pegulaová 6:2, 7:6 in the semifinals.
