Like winning lotto, Jason Kubler has secured a life-changing family pay day after powering into the Australian Open men's doubles final with Marc Polmans. In 2023, Kubler - a former world No.1 junior - teamed with fellow Australian Rinky Hijikata to claim the title at Melbourne Park as wildcards. "But with the wildcards, my ranking in doubles is close to 1500, so I'm definitely not getting in (on rankings), even with Alcaraz. Inglis' reward for being Australia's last woman standing and also contesting the women's and mixed doubles events will be a monster cheque for $505,925. That means Australian tennis's new golden couple will walk away from Melbourne with a minimum $902,350 - or $1.27 million if Kubler and Polmans win Sunday's final.
