MELBOURNE, Australia – The doubles got under way on Day 3 of the main draw.

And in addition to the teen dream team of Mboko and Stakusic, there was also 45-year-old Venus Williams.

And the Cerundolo brothers played together, which is fun. They haven’t played at anything nearly close to this level before – one Challenger about five years ago, and a bunch of small ITFs in South America before that.

Big moment for the family. And they had a great win.
