Austin Krajicek and Ivan Dodig

Krajicek and Dodig ended 2022 on a disappointing note as they lost all three of their group-stage matches at the ATP Finals. They have managed to start 2023 on a strong note with a fine performance in the Adelaide International 2.

The American-Croatian duo began the campaign with a come-from-behind win against the team of John Peers and Andreas Mies. Krajicek and Dodig made light work of their quarter-final opponents David Vega Hernandez and Rafael Matos, winning the match in straight sets 6-3, 6-4. In the semis, Dodig and Krajicek defeated the top-seeded team of Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski in straight sets 6-2, 7-6 (7-4).

Marcelo Arevalo & Jean-Julien Rojer

Arevalo and Rojer were also ousted in the group stage of the ATP Finals. They did not have a great start to 2023 as they lost to Tomislav Brkic and Gonzalo Escobar in the round of 16 of the Adelaide International 1.
