The Dutch tennis player Jean-Julien Rojer has achieved his first tournament victory of this year together with Marcelo Arévalo from El Salvador without playing. A back injury to Croatian Ivan Dodig turned the doubles final in Adelaide into a walkover. Dodig formed a couple with the American Austin Krajicek. The duo was the opponent of Rojer and Arévalo in the final of Roland Garros last year, where Rojer and Arévalo survived three match points and captured the title.
