Matt Ebden and Jordan Thompson will pair up at US Open 2025, two weeks from Davis Cup.
New York, USA, 28 August 2025 | Jackson Mansell
For Matt Ebden and Jordan Thompson, US Open 2025 could well be a dress rehearsal for next month’s Davis Cup tie against Belgium.
As the highest-ranked doubles players in Australia’s Davis Cup team for their first home tie in three years, they will compete in their first Grand Slam together at Flushing Meadows.
Thompson looks to defend his 2024 doubles crown in New York after he and Max Purcell won their maiden major title there last year.
Ebden is also no stranger to a deep US Open doubles run. The 37-year-old reached the US Open final in 2023 alongside former world No.1 Rohan Bopanna.
With a 6-1 record as a pairing, Ebden and Thompson have form on their side, having won the ‘s-Hertogenbosch title in June.
They begin their campaign against Argentines Francisco Cerundolo and Federico Agustin Gomez.
Ebden and Thompson headline a group of 12 Australians competing in doubles action during the tournament.
Rinky Hijikata aims to make his second-straight Grand Slam doubles final when he reunites with Dutchman David Pel.
John Peers, John-Patrick Smith, Matthew Romios, and Tristan Schoolkate are also set to feature.
In women’s doubles, Ellen Perez will be seeded sixth in New York alongside Ukrainian Lyudmyla Kichenok. Perez and Kichenok look to build on their WTA 1000 semifinal appearance in Cincinnati.
Also, Kimberly Birrell and Olivia Gadecki will combine, while Maya Joint and Storm Hunter will pair up with respective Americans Caty McNally and Desirae Krawczyk.
