In the second round, Ebden and Purcell beat fourth seeds Juan Sebastián Cabal and Robert Farah from a set down before reaching the third round, where they defeated thirteenth seeds Raven Klaasen and Ben McLachlan in straight sets to make the quarterfinals. This showing earned the pair their second Grand Slam quarterfinal appearance together. In the quarterfinals, they knocked out tenth seeds Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski from a set down and through the final ten-point deciding set tiebreak to reach the semifinals. Together with Thanasi Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios, Ebden and Purcell made it the most Australians to reach this stage of the men's doubles tournament in 29 years, since 1993, and the first time since 1985 that two all-Australian pairings contested the semifinals. Their quarterfinals win set them up for a match against second seeds Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury, where they saved four set points in the second set to defeat the pair in straight sets to reach the final. Purcell and Ebden faced Kokkinakis and Kyrgios in the final, the first in men's doubles at the Australian Open to feature two all-Australian teams since 1980, where they ultimately lost in straight sets.

### 2023: ATP 1000 quarterfinal, Australian No. 2

As the defending champion in doubles, he won his third ATP title and second on clay in Houston with Jordan Thompson. At the same tournament he also made the second round in singles.
In May, Purcell reached his sixth Challenger of the season at the 2023 Busan Open in South Korea, where he lost to compatriot seed Aleksandar Vukic after retirement due to right ankle injury. As a result he moved close to 20 positions up into the top 70. He also had to give a walkover in the doubles final. It was his fifth doubles final of the year, all of which have been with different partners. At the 2023 French Open he recorded his first Grand Slam win over compatriot Jordan Thompson.
At the 2023 Western & Southern Open he reached the round of 16 as a qualifier, defeating fifth seed Casper Ruud for his first top 10 win.

He reached his maiden singles ATP final at the 2024 Eastbourne International as a qualifier. Purcell was competing in just his second ATP semifinal, becoming only the fourth qualifier in tournament history to advance to the final. As a result he returned to the top 70 climbing back up more than 25 positions in the rankings.
Partnering Jordan Thompson, he reached his second final at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships. As a result he moved into the top 20 in the doubles rankings on 15 July 2024. They were defeated in the final by first time Major champions Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara in a three-setter with three tiebreaks, after Purcell/Thompson failed to convert three match points in the second set.
With Thompson, he reached a second Grand Slam final in doubles for the season at the US Open, defeating American duo and 13th seeds Nathaniel Lammons and Jackson Withrow. They defeated tenth seeds Kevin Krawietz and Tim Pütz lifting their first Grand Slam trophy as a team, and the first at this level for Thompson and second for Purcell.

## Anti-doping suspension

On 23 December 2024, it was announced that Purcell had been given a provisional suspension by the International Tennis Integrity Agency effective from 12 December, after he admitted violating Article 2.2 of the Tennis Anti-Doping Program “relating to the use of a Prohibited Method.” Writing on Instagram, Purcell said he had "unknowingly received" an intravenous infusion of vitamins which was above the 100ml limit allowed under World Anti-Doping Agency rules.
