Aussies in action on day eight:

Alcott, the world No.1 doubles player and an eight-time Grand Slam doubles champion, is teaming up with 21-year-old Schroder from the Netherlands for the first time. Although they are fierce rivals on the singles court, the duo share a strong bond through mutual respect. Schroder won the Roland Garros doubles title last year alongside Wagner. Alcott is aiming to win his second doubles title in Paris too, having shared the 2019 title with Wagner.
