We are a few days into the Australian Open, with the first round of matches completed already. Most of the big names like Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have advanced into the second round, as have Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff.

A number of tennis couples are also taking part in this year's tournament. Most of them are top players and have completed their matches in the first round. In this article, we will take a look at how they have fared so far. Let us get on with the list:

Monfils is enjoying a rich vein of form at the age of 38, which is supposed to be the twilight of his career. He recently won the ASB Classic in Auckland. Monfils faced compatriot and 30th seed Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the first round of Australian Open and prevailed in a thrilling five-setter 7-6(7), 6-3, 6-7(6), 6-7(5), 6-4. The match lasted for more than four hours and the Frenchman will face Daniel Altmaier of Germany in the second round.

Elena Svitolina, Monfils' wife and the 28th seed, beat Sorana Cirstea of Romania 6-4, 6-4 in the first round. Svitolina will take on Caroline Dolehide of the United States in the second round.

#3. Anastasia Potapova - Alexander Shevchenko

Another married couple, Potapova of Russia and Shevchenko of Kazakhstan, are also playing in the tournament. Potapova faced Tamara Zidansek of Czechia in the first round and won her match comfortably 6-2, 7-5 to progress into the second round. She will face compatriot Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the second round.

On the other hand, Shevchenko was somewhat unlucky to run into third seed Carlos Alcaraz in the first round itself. Alcaraz thrashed Shevchenko 6-1, 7-5, 6-1 to move into the second round.

#2. Katie Boulter - Alex de Minaur:

Boulter of Great Britain is the 22nd seed at this year's Australian Open. She faced Rebecca Marino of Canada in the first round and prevailed in three sets 6-4, 3-6, 7-5. Boulter will face Veronika Kudermetova of Russia in the second round.

De Minaur, Boulter's boyfriend and the eighth seed, is also the top-ranked Australian player in the tournament. He thrashed Botic van de Zandschulp of the Netherlands 6-1, 7-5, 6-4 in the first round. The 25-year-old Aussie will take on Tristan Boyer of the United States in the second round.

#1. Paula Badosa - Stefanos Tsitsipas

Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas are considered a power couple in tennis today. Badosa, the 11th seed from Spain, made a good start to her Australian Open campaign by beating Xinyu Wang of China 6-3, 7-6(5) in the first round. She will face Talia Gibson of Australia in the second round.

However, Tsitsipas, who is also the 11th-seed and a former finalist in the tournament, was one of the major first-round casualties. He lost to Alex Michelsen of the United States 5-7, 3-6, 6-2, 4-6 in the first round to bow out of this year's Australian Open.
