Photo / GettyNew Zealand doubles tennis players Erin Routliffe and Artem Sitak will play alongside high-profile doubles at next month’s Australian Open. Artem Sitak needed a high-profile singles game to qualify for the Australian Open. I asked him early enough, just ‘Hey, do you want to play in the Australian Open together?’ And he said, ‘Sure, let’s do it.’ or for months. Other New Zealand representatives in the Australian Open are number one in the doubles Michael Venus (15) and Marcus Daniell (51). Puetz will play for the German national team in the ATP Cup and return with Venus to the Australian Open.
