Tennis doubles player Andreas Mies reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open in his first Grand Slam appearance with his new partner John Peers.
The two-time French Open winner won alongside the Australian against the local heroes Alex Bolt/Luke Saville 6:0, 6:3 and is thus in Melbourne for the first time in the round of the best eight doubles.
In the fight for the semi-final ticket, the next opponents waiting for Mies/Peers are Marcel Granollers (Spain)/Horacio Zeballos (Argentina), who are number eight.
Last November, Mies announced the separation from his long-time successful partner Kevin Krawietz, with whom he won the Grand Slam title on sand in Paris in 2019 and 2020. Krawietz also has a new doubles partner in Tim Pütz, but he is missing in Melbourne because he will soon be a father.
