Your Wimbledon Runners Up!! Rinky Hijikata 🇦🇺 and David Pel 🇳🇱 became the first pair in the Open Era to reach a men’s doubles Grand Slam final as alternates 👏 📸 Wimbledon images via ITF #TeamAUS | @tennisaustralia

From barely knowing each other to #Wimbledon semifinalists - what a run for Aussie Rinky Hijikata and Dutch partner David Pel 😅 🔥

Rinky Rocks A bit lost in the tumult of the day, but Rinky Hijikata pulls out a pretty crazy win over David Goffin. Not "crazy" as in long & drawn out. "Crazy" as in... crazy dominant. The Aussie fires off 27 winners to just 10 errors in a 6-3, 6-1, 6-1 win over David Goffin.

“At the end of the day, I don’t necessarily think there’s a magic ingredient to success. There’s always ups and downs. Consistent effort and discipline is the key. I feel like my progress has always been quite gradual and steady.” @rinky_23

Rinky prevails! 🥵 @rinky_23 triumphs over Medjedovic 7-5 3-6 7-5 and will face Djokovic for the second time this season. @MiamiOpen | #MiamiOpen
