    2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field

    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.

    Australian Open 2020: Novak Djokovic and Sofia Kenin win singles titles Novak Djokovic won the Australian Open 2020 title for record 8th time while Sofia Kenin won the major for the first time. Novak Djokovic from Serbia beat Austrian Dominic Thiem in a thrilling 5-set match 6- 4 4-6 2-6 6-3 6-4 to win the 2020 Australian Open men’s singles title at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. By doing so, he won his 8th Australian Open title and his 17th Gram Slam. He has now inched closer to the only two men who have more Grand Slam titles under their belt – Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, who have won 20 and 19 singles titles Djokovic also set a unique record after the win – he became the first man in the Open Era to win a grand slam title in three decades. Novak Djokovic won the Australian Open title for record 8th time which is the most number of times by any player in the world. He had earlier won this title in 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2019. He has won this title three times in a row from 2011 to 2013 and it is a record in terms of Open Era. This is the 17th single Grand Slam title of Djokovic's career. America's Sofia Canin defeated Spain's Garbine Muguruza (4-6, 6-2, 6-2) to win the women's singles title at the first Grand Slam of the year. Sofia Kenin won this title for the first time in her career.
