After the success – the Swedish hope misses the final

Unseeded players André Göransson and Sem Verbeek went all the way to the semifinal in the Australian Open. A sensation – and a success. But on the last step to the final, it stopped.

Göransson and Verbeek broke already in the opponents' second serve game and managed to break again and took the first set without having to save a single break ball.

The Swedish doubles specialist and his Dutch partner got a good grip on the semifinal, but it only lasted for a short while.

After an initial set victory with 6–2, it came to a halt. The Italians Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori turned the match around and won with 2–6, 6–3, 6–3.

Prior to the meeting, André Göransson said:

We met in the second round of the US Open in September. We'll have our revenge now. It'll be fun but a tough match. It's about really being on from the start and playing with the same energy and aggression as before.

17-year-old William Rejchtman Vinciguerra, seeded number 14, fell in the quarterfinals of the junior singles against fifth-seeded American Jagger Leach with 1–6, 5–7 in sets.

The next blow for Rejchtman Vinciguerra came a few hours later. Together with Italian Andrea De Marchi, the Swede lost the semifinal in the doubles tournament against second-seeded pair Maxwell Exsted, USA, and Jan Kumstat, Czech Republic.
