Text size:

Harrison and Skupski defied a pro-Australian crowd at Rod Laver Arena to win 7-6 (7/4), 6-4.

The roof was on ahead of the women's singles final with light rain in Melbourne.

It was the sixth seeds' first title as playing partners, having only teamed up at the start of the year.

"It was not easy out there today," said 31-year-old Harrison, whose older brother Ryan won the French Open men's doubles in 2017.

Addressing the 36-year-old Skupski, a Wimbledon doubles winner in 2023, he said: "Some tough moments but I knew your experience would pay off.

"It was fun to battle this match together."
