British success at the Australian Open on Friday came with youngsters Liam Broady and Joshua Ward-Hibbert won the boys' doubles title.
The pair, seeded sixth for the event, eased to victory over the Czech-Croat combination of Adam Pavlasek and Filip Veger, running out 6-3, 6-2 winners at Melbourne Park.
Broady and Ward-Hibbert, both of whom turned 18 this month, found strength in their serve, losing just five points between them throughout the two sets, and wrapped up the straight sets triumph in less than three quarters of an hour.
The more experienced Broady, who is ranked third in the world, was runner-up at Junior Wimbledon last year
Ward-Hibbert, meanwhile, ranked 44th, also made the quarter-finals of the boys' singles Down Under. His ranking will therefore improve.
