The Aussie duo of Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis put up a spirited display in the semi-finals to defeat the third seed duo of Horacio Zeballos and Marcel Granollers in an unexpected win.

Following this victory, in the second round, the duo fought the Croatian doubles team Mate Pavić and Nikola Mektić ( 7-6, 6-3 ). Following the next round, Kyrgios and Kokkinakis prevailed over Gonzalo Escobar and Ariel Behar ( 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 ) to play against Tim Pütz and Michael Venus in the quarter-finals and defeating them with the score ( 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 ).

To give an all Australian flavour to the doubles final of the Australian Open 2022, their opponents would be the Australian duo of Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell. The unseeded pair have had an amazing run so far at the competition, beating some seeded pairings in the process. They beat the favourites and second seed pairing of Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury, who won the title in 2020 and finished runners up last year, in their semi-final clash. The pair would look to continue their good form and give the local audience a spectacle in the title clash.
