GB’s Salisbury & Ram beat defending champions to reach semis
British pair Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram reached the US Open men's doubles semi-finals after beating defending champions Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos 6-4 6-4. The pair, who won the tournament together in 2021, 2022 and 2023 before splitting in 2024, reunited earlier this year and now face 2024 finalists Kevin Krawietz and Tim Putz for a place in the final.
Elsewhere at Flushing Meadows, Britain's Henry Patten and Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara saved three match points to beat seventh seeds Manuel Guinard and Guido Andreozzi 6-7 (7-9) 7-6 (7-3) 6-2, setting up a potential all-British semi-final against Neal Skupski, who plays with Christian Harrison against Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori. In the women's doubles, top seeds Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend beat Diana Shnaider and Elise Mertens to move within one win of completing all four Grand Slam titles together, and will meet Americans Robin Montgomery and Ashlyn Krueger, who overcame a 8-2 deficit in the match tie-break to defeat second seeds Luisa Stefani and Gabriela Dabrowski, in Friday's final.
