The doubles tournament's star pair stood on the other side of the net – but it didn't stop André Göransson.
Together with Dutchman Sem Verbeek, he made it to the semifinal in the Australian Open via 6–4, 4–6, 6–3 against Marcelo Arevalo, El Salvador and Mate Pavić, Croatia.
It feels unreal, a bit too good to be true, says Göransson in the victory interview in Melbourne.
I had a good partner who had a good serve. You can't ask for more. Thanks so much, Sam.
In the semifinal, the third-seeded Italian pair Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori await.
It's the first time the 30-year-old Swede has reached the semifinal in a Grand Slam tournament. Previously, he has reached the quarterfinal at the longest, in Wimbledon 2021.
