–

MELBOURNE, Australia – The Top Canucks, Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe, began their quest for a first Australian Open title. And they didn’t have an easy one.

Danielle Collins and Desirae Krawczyk, good friends and occasional doubles partners with Krawczyk being a high level dubs players and Collins a good player generally, made getting through the first round a struggle.

It was the first match of the Cana-Kiwis’ 2025 season as a rib issue involving Routliffe needed more than the short off-season to solve.
