After losing to Swiatek, Inglis had confirmed it's the most prize money she'd ever received in a tournament.

"I'll definitely use a lot of it to invest back into my tennis and have some people on the road with me to support me and make some weeks a bit easier with family or friends," she said.

"I love shopping, so I'm sure I'll buy something nice. I've wanted a Smeg toaster for so long ... I think that's going to be my treat, maybe the kettle too.

"A big dream is a Mini Cooper. I'll keep working on that. I want to be rolling down the Gold Coast in my Mini Cooper, so that's a dream.

"We'll see how the next few months go."

Inglis plug for Smeg, innocent or not, worked a treat because instead of buying any products they sent them to her.

Kubler and Polmans defeated Luke Johnson and Jan Zielinkski 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 setting up a match with Christan Harrison and Neal Skupski.

Post-match, Kubler put all the praise on Polmans.

"It's unbelievable, far out he carried me today," he told Nine's Wally Masur.

"In the second set I felt like I had too much energy and almost shut down a little bit and without Marc on my side in this match, I don't know if I would've been able to get through that.

"He did really, really well today and I'm so happy to be playing with Marc."
