Aus Open: Bhambri-Garansson March Into Men's Doubles Second Round
Niki Kaliyanda Poonacha: India’s Yuki Bhambri and his Swedish partner Andre Garansson progressed to the second round of the Australian Open 2026 men’s doubles event with a win over local wild cards James Duckworth and Cruz Hewitt, the son of former World No. 1 and multiple Grand Slam winner Lleyton Hewitt, in Melbourne on Wednesday.
The 10th-seeded Indo-Swedish pair registered a 6-3, 6-4 victory in just 57 minutes. In the second round, Bhambri and Goransson will face either Mexico’s Santiago Gonzalez and the Netherlands’ David Pel or the Brazilian pairing of Marcelo Melo and Fernando Romboli.
Bhambri and Goransson dominated proceedings from the start, delivering a near-perfect serving performance. In the opening set, they held four of their five service games to love, dropping just a single point in the ninth game. A break in the eighth game against Duckworth and Hewitt was all they needed to clinch the set.
