Men's Doubles Draw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Australian_Open_–_Men's_Doubles

Men's Doubles play is not scheduled to start until the Wednesday I think, so there's still time to get settled in if you're interested.

NOTE:

Points collected from Doubles Tournaments will count towards the Doubles Race & Rankings.
Individual Singles and Doubles YE #1s will be crowned in November.
There will also be an Overall Champion crowned - this is given to the person who accumulates the most points across BOTH Singles & Doubles.

We'll be maintaining 3 sets of Rankings: Singles, Doubles and Combined (S+D) - we will then accordingly crown 3 Champions at the end of the year

R1: Sam Groth/Lleyton Hewitt

@Krish872007 if the doubles catches on, I think it should be a true team event with competitors partnered up somehow. Just a thought for future event planning

Interesting Idea...not sure how we would accomplish that..unless both members had to get the pick right to advance through the round or something. definitely something to talk about
