With the arrival of Australia Day, odds are the finals of the Australian Open are approaching, and indeed they are. This week the annual tennis festival, down under, is coming to an end. Men's Doubles will be contested today at Melbourne Park, where the 114 year old tournament has been played since the 1980s. The finals of Men's Doubles will be played between partners, Australian John Peers and his partner from Finland, Henri Kontinen, and Frenchmen partners Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert. Peers and Kontinen took the title in 2017, but were defeated last year in the second round. They have the chance to vindicate themselves this year. Mahut and Herbert also washed out in the second round last year, but they took the French Open Doubles Title in June. The 2019 US Figure Skating Championships are being contested this weekend at Little Caesar's Arena in Detroit, home of hockey's venerable Red Wings, and of the NBA's Detroit Pistons. Saturday's events include the Championship pairs free skate and Championship men’s short program, as well as the Championship Free Dance competition. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "omnisport" group.
