They already have a queen and a king at the Australian Open currently underway on Melbourne’s concrete. The Australian pair of John Peers and Olivia Gadecki hit an encore in the highly prestigious tournament, beating France’s Kristina Mladenovic and Manuel Guinard 4-6, 6-3, 10-6 and winning the mixed doubles title on Friday’s Italian night at Rod Laver Arena.

The final started uphill for the hosts, with Peers losing serve in the first game. Despite one break they got, and despite a huge crowd support, they suffered two more, slipping to 2-5 down. The Australians nullified two set points and managed to break serve again, but Mladenovic and Guinard then closed out the set with confidence at the first available opportunity.

The Australians were able to break Peers.

The Australians then got the only break of the second set, tying the match and taking it to the deciding tie-break at 10 points. Neither pair then took the lead, but the French came within a step of success at 7-5 before throwing away three consecutive points with errors of their own. Gadecki netted an overtime winner to win two match points, and victory came on the second, when Guinard’s backhand response, a Slam finalist for the first time, went into the net.

To reach the final, Gadecki and Peers had overcome number four seed Taylor Townsend and Nicola Mektic in a super tie-break, winning 7-6(2), 2-6, 13-11.

Gadecki and Peers are the first pair to win two consecutive mixed doubles titles in Melbourne since Czech Jana Novotna and American Jim Pugh led the way in 1988 and 1989, and the first all-Australian pair to do so in more than 60 years.

“I really don’t know where to start. I can’t believe it, to have the trophy in my hand again is something incredible. I knew we could do it, but I didn’t know if we could really do it. Thank you Peersy, thank you so very much for wanting to play with me again this year and for allowing me to share the field with you” said an emotional Olivia, who is a full fourteen years younger than her partner, a true institution, at the end of the game. Peers, in fact is now even more in Australian doubles history: she had already won three Grand Slam titles and an Olympic gold medal.

The winning pair is perfectly matched: Gadecki’s powerful serve combines perfectly with Peers’ supremacy at the net.
