Jason Kubler and Rinky Hijikata will lean on some vanquished cohorts as they look to continue Australian tennis's exciting doubles revival at Melbourne Park on Saturday.

Kubler and Hijikata will take on Monaco's Hugo Nys and Poland's Jan Zielinski in a most improbable Australian Open men's doubles final.

Playing together for the first time, the local wildcards have cut a swathe through the draw to make the title match.

Kubler and Hijikata ousted top seeds Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski in the quarter-finals for the loss of only four games and then continued their giant-killing run with a similarly comprehensive 6-3 6-1 win over eighth seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos in the semis.

"It's super special, something we probably weren't expecting," Kubler said.

"Then even with the draw we have had in this tournament it's been pretty tough. To be able to get through against all these quality opponents is making it even a little bit more sweeter.

"Yeah, unbelievable."

No all-Australian pairing since the legendary Woodies - Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde - had won the Open men's doubles in a quarter of a century until last year.

Now Kubler and Hijikata are looking to repeat the wildcard heroics of the Special Ks - Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis - from 2022.

"I'm pumped," Hijikata said.

"I mean, yeah, I wouldn't have picked it at the start of the week.

"It's just been so much fun, just getting to play more matches at home, getting to play in front of unbelievable crowds with 'Kubs', who's so much fun to play with and obviously is an unbelievably good player, singles or doubles.

"I'm just trying to soak it all in."

The energetic first-time pairing confess to knowing nothing about Nys and Zielinski, apart from the fact they beat fellow Australians Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson in the quarter-finals.

"So 'Maxie' has actually been talking a lot to us about these doubles teams, just with how much experience he had the last few years on the doubles side," Kubler said.

"So that's helped out massively. Then them playing them, they know first hand what they bring.

"Hopefully he can give us a few things that hopefully we can look to exploit."

If Kubler and Hijikata win, two of the four men's grand slam doubles trophies will remain in Australian hands.

After losing last year's Australian Open final to Kyrgios and Kokkinakis, Purcell and Matt Ebden won Wimbledon six months later.
