“It was a great tournament and I really enjoyed playing here,” Alena smiled, looking over at her sister holding their trophy.
“It’s very nice here, very nice environment and [we] like it here. On the other hand, it’s very fast courts, which [we] don’t like that much.”
The top-seeded Kovackovas won the match with almost clinical efficiency, securing the first set in just 22 minutes with 25 points won to Hermanova and Zoldakova’s 16.
The second set followed a similar rhythm; while Hermanova and Zoldakova turned up the pressure, the sisters closed in on the doubles trophy with a 30-minute second set with 76 per cent of first serve points won. A tally of 29 winners to their opponents’ 14 helped them maintain a healthy buffer.
Doig and Kisimov crowned boys’ doubles champions
South Africa’s Connor Doig and Bulgarian partner Dimitar Kisimov hoisted the Australian Open 2026 junior boys’ doubles trophy after defeating Aussie duo Ymerali Ibraimi and Cooper Kose 6-3 6-4.
This was the first Grand Slam title the pair have won together, and they kept their approach simple.
“Finals is obviously a bit more pressure, but we just try to keep it simple and just play point by point as we’ve done the whole tournament,” said Doig.
“[It’s what has] worked for us, so why change our winning strategy?”
