Eighth seeds Sania Mirza and her Kazakh partner Anna Danilina take on the Ukrainian-Belgian duo of Anhelina Kalinina and Alison Van Uytvanck in the second round of the 2023 Australian Open women’s doubles on Sunday.
Sania is playing her final Grand Slam as the 36-year-old is set to retire from the sport after next month’s Dubai Masters.
The all-Indian pair of Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan and N Sriram Balaji, who got into the main draw as alternates and knocked out fifth-seeded Croatian-American duo of Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek, next face Frenchmen Fabrice Martin and Jeremy Chardy.
Yuvan Nandal and Shruti Ahlawat will play their opening round fixtures in the junior boys’ and girls’ singles, respectively. Nandal will also be in action in doubles.
