Wimbledon fortnight did not start well for Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson, but there could be a golden finish for the Australian duo. The pair have won their way into the final of the men’s doubles, and will believe they can win it after sweeping aside the top seeds.
Aussie doubles pair fire up in quarterfinal. Purcell and Thompson beat Spaniard Marcel Granollers and Argentine Horacio Zeballos 6-4 6-4 in 71 minutes on Thursday to book a place in the final on Saturday at the All England Club.
