The Australian Open has been criticized for scheduling the men's doubles final after the women's singles final. This led to a near-empty Rod Laver Arena during the men's match, as most of the audience had left after Madison Keys's win over Aryna Sabalenka.

Last year's losing finalists - Italy duo Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori - attempted to achieve redemption in the Australian Open doubles final at Rod Laver Arena. The Italian third seeds took on sixth-seeded duo Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten in the hopes of avenging the loss to Matthew Ebden and Rohan Bopanna at Melbourne Park in 2024.

Australian teams are among the final four in the mixed doubles after wildcard duo Olivia Gadecki and John Peers staged an impressive comeback in their quarter-final on Tuesday.
