Still Perfect! Marach/Pavic Edge Into Australian Open SFs
Spoiler:
Groth ends pro career in partnership with Hewitt
It may be early in the season, but Oliver Marach and Mate Pavic are garnering the headlines for their exceptional start. Now 12 matches unbeaten in 2018, the Austrian-Croatian team is through to the Australian Open semi-finals.
Seventh seeds Marach and Pavic grit their teeth and held their nerves to knock out Marcus Daniell of New Zealand and Great Britain’s Dominic Inglot 6-4, 6-7(10), 7-6(5) in two hours and 40 minutes on Tuesday.
The in-form pair recovered from an 0/5 deficit in the second set tie-break by winning six straight points, but was unable to convert match point opportunities at 6/5, 8/7 and 10/9. With no service breaks in the deciding set, both teams swung freely in the tie-break before Marach and Pavic completed victory after a forehand error. Overall, Daniell and Inglot lost just three of their first-service points (18/21) in comparison to 26/30 for Marach and Pavic.
Prior to arriving in Melbourne, Marach and Pavic began the 2018 ATP World Tour season with back-to-back trophies at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open (d. Murray/Soares) and the ASB Classic (d. Mirnyi/Oswald). They have a 3-3 record in finals as a team.
The team will now challenge the first-time pairing of Japan’s Ben Mclachlan and Jan-Lennard Struff of Germany in the semi-final.
Later, Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah ended Sam Groth and Lleyton Hewitt’s title bid 6-4, 7-5 in what proved to be the last match of Groth’s professional career.
The 11th seeds started and ended strong with breaks in the first and final service games of their opponents to book their place in the final four. The Colombian duo hit 23 winners in the 89-minute encounter and will meet six-time former champions Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan for a place in Saturday’s final.

Marach/Pavic Keep Streak Alive, Reach Doubles Final
Spoiler:
Cabal/Farah knock out six-time former champions
Oliver Marach and Mate Pavic extended their winning streak in 2018 and are riding on the crest of a wave in Melbourne.
The seventh-seeded team from Austria and Croatia used their collective experience on Thursday to book a place in the Australian Open final after overcoming Japan’s Ben Mclachlan and Jan-Lennard Struff of Germany 4-6, 7-5, 7-6(4) in two hours and 26 minutes.
Marach and Pavic battled back from a 1/3 deficit in the deciding set tie-break, putting Mclachlan and Struff under pressure to commit four groundstroke errors – two forehand and two backhand – as the seventh seeds won six of the next seven points.
Marach, 37, and 24-year-old Pavic are now 13 matches unbeaten this year. Prior to arriving in Australia, Marach and Pavic began the 2018 ATP World Tour season with back-to-back trophies at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open (d. Murray/Soares) and the ASB Classic (d. Mirnyi/Oswald) .
The duo, with a 3-3 record in finals, will now look to draw on their experience of competing in the 2017 Wimbledon final, which they lost to Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo 13-11 in the fifth set.

Marach’s previous-best result at Melbourne Park was a run to the 2009 semi-finals with Kubot, when the pair lost to Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles. Pavic had only once won a match in four visits – on his 2014 debut (w/Draganja) .
The undefeated pairing will meet 11th seeds Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah. The Colombians reached their first Grand Slam final as a team after defeating six-time former champions Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan 7-6(1), 7-5.
Cabal and Farah, the No. 11 seed, won six straight points from 1/1 in the first set tie-break to gain control of the match. The second set followed much the same pattern, with serve being held comfortably by both teams until the 12th game.
The 31-year-olds pounced at the most opportune of moments as their opponents served to force a second tie-break, creating the only break point of the set and converting to enter their 23rd final as a team (10-12).
