In an all-unseeded final, Louie Bickerton and Christian Boussus defeated Birdie Bond and Vernon Kirby 1–6, 6–3, 6–3, to win the mixed doubles tennis title at the 1935 Australian Championships.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Bond and Kirby won the first set with ease. The second one was interrupted by rain thrice, which got them out of their rhythm and opponents won three remaining games. In the last three games of the third set Bickerton/Boussus lost only two points.[7]
