Purcell, Thompson Win US Open Men's Doubles Title

Australian duo Jordan Thompson and Max Purcell won the US Open men's doubles title, defeating German 10th seeds Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz 6-4, 7-6 (7-4). This victory marks the first time an all-Australian pair has won in New York since 1996, with Thompson and Purcell redeeming their Wimbledon finals loss. The pair, who only began partnering last year, have shown remarkable success, reaching back-to-back grand slam finals and winning multiple ATP titles in 2023. Thompson will leave New York with a career-high ranking of No.29 and earnings of $US700,000, while Purcell, a dual grand slam champion, will earn $US515,000. Both players highlighted the significance of their friendship and teamwork in achieving this milestone.
