Great Britain's Neal Skupski and his American partner Christian Harrison are through to the US Open men's doubles final after beating top seeds Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara.
The Australian Open champions secured a 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 win in an hour and 23 minutes and are yet to drop a set at this year's tournament.
Liverpool-born Skupski, 36, is hoping to claim his fifth Grand Slam **** le and third in the men's doubles.
After success at Wimbledon in 2023 with Wesley Koolhof and in Australia earlier this year alongside Harrison, Skupski once again has a maiden triumph at Flushing Meadows in his sights.
He and fellow Briton Joe Salisbury missed three championship points when they lost last year's final.

Elena Rybakina is one win away from the world number one ranking, but the Kazakh star says her main goal in her US Open quarter-final clash with Zheng Qinwen on Wednesday is to advance toward a third Grand Slam ******* le.
"Number one ranking is, of course, one of the goals," Rybakina says. "But I think the main focus for me is to win the ******* les, and then the ranking will follow up."
Rybakina arrived at Flushing Meadows as one of four women with a chance to supplant Aryna Sabalenka atop the rankings, and the only one with her fate in her own hands. Reaching the semis will send her to the summit for the first time, and she could even get there if she loses -- if Sabalenka, world number three Jessica Pegula and fourth-ranked Coco Gauff all fail to lift the trophy.
Rybakina, who has shown no sign of the foot injury that hindered her US Open preparations, will be out to halt the remarkable run of Zheng -- the Paris Olympics gold medallist who had to come through qualifying thanks to a rankings plunge in the wake of elbow surgery last year.
Gauff, in the quarters for the first time since she won the US Open ******* le in 2023, will take on fifth-seeded French Open champion Mirra Andreeva for a place in the semis while men's top seed Alexander Zverev faces Dutch veteran Botic van de Zandschulp.

"Hearing her voice on the USTA Foundation commercials reminds us that ChrissieEvert is a) so thoroughly decent and charitable and oozing with grace b) so thoroughly missed here," Wertheim wrote on X.
Evert was quick to share a couple of responses to Wertheim's heartfelt post.

France's Arthur Gea was one point away from being the first lucky loser to reach a Grand Slam quarter-final - but three hours later he was out of the US Open.
Gea, 22, was unable to convert a match point in a third-set tie-break against Dutch opponent Botic van de Zandschulp, then could not serve out victory in the fourth set of a gruelling fourth-round contest.
Van de Zandschulp took full advantage to escape from the jaws of defeat, going on to secure a 3-6 6-7 (0-7) 7-6 (9-7) 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 win after five hours and 13 minutes - the fourth longest match on record at Flushing Meadows.
World number 87 Gea was not ranked high enough for the main draw when the US Open entry list was finalised, meaning he had to go through qualifying instead.
Seeded first, he lost to American Nishesh Basavareddy in the third and final round but earned a reprieve when 2022 finalist Casper Ruud withdrew injured on the eve of the tournament.

It was not so long ago that Coco Gauff was the teenage sensation looking to cause an upset at the US Open.
Now, at the grand old age of 22, she is the Grand Slam champion and leading WTA Tour star who drew on her experience to deal with talented 18-year-old Iva Jovic at Flushing Meadows.
Fourth seed Gauff found her finest level of the fortnight to beat fellow American Jovic in a 6-1 6-4 win which secured her place in the quarter-finals.
Gauff's comfortable progress ensured the top six seeds have reached the US Open women's last eight for the first time since 1998, further illustrating the strength in depth at the top of the WTA Tour.
Gauff, who won the 2023 **** le in New York, continues her quest for a third major **** le against French Open champion Mirra Andreeva on Wednesday.

Coco Gauff won the all-American Labour Day showdown against teenager Iva Jovic to reach the US Open quarter-finals.
The 22-year-old, bidding for a second Flushing Meadows ****** le, overpowered Jovic 6-1, 6-4 on a balmy bank holiday night in New York.
An impressive victory set up a last-eight meeting with French Open champion Mirra Andreeva, whom Gauff has beaten in all five of their career meetings.
A jittery start from the 2023 winner gifted 18-year-old Jovic a break in the first game with a double fault.
But Jovic's nerves were also on show as Gauff raced away with the next six games to take the first set.

NEW YORK — Coco Gauff showed that youth would not be served on this night, beating 18-year-old and fellow American Iva Jovic 6-1, 6-4 to earn a spot in the US Open quarterfinals.
Before a raucous crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Gauff started out slow and was broken on her initial serve but then showed fierceness and a pinpoint serve to systematically dismantle the No. 14 seed, winning the next six games and taking the set in an efficient 33 minutes.
Gauff, herself, was looking to avoid another disappointment at Flushing Meadows. Since winning the championship in 2023, she has lost in this round each of the past two years. At age 22, Gauff is the youngest American woman to make three Grand Slam quarterfinals in one year since Serena Williams in 2003.

It has not been smooth sailing for Alexander Zverev at the U.S. Open.

Two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka emulated Serena Williams as she eventually overpowered American Taylor Townsend to reach a sixth straight US Open quarter-final.
A topsy-turvy contest featured 10 breaks of serve, but Sabalenka recovered from 3-1 down in the second set to seal a 6-4 6-3 victory with a fifth consecutive game.
It was the Belarusian's 18th consecutive win at the tournament, extending her three-year unbeaten streak following back-to-back triumphs in 2024 and 2025.
Sabalenka, 28, is the first woman to reach six consecutive singles quarter-finals at Flushing Meadows since American great Williams in 2016.
Six-time champion Williams was also the last player to win three US Open **** les in a row, and Sabalenka is now three wins from matching that feat.

NEW YORK (AP) — Frances Tiafoe and Alex Michelsen are headed to the U.S. Open quarterfinals. Ben Shelton had a chance to join them with a victory Sunday night.
The American men are making a real run at ending their lengthy Grand Slam drought.
The U.S. hasn't had a men's major champion since Andy Roddick won in Flushing Meadows in 2003, and there haven't even been many great opportunities in the more than two decades since.
But backed by the home crowd and in good form, the Americans had five players in the final 16 of a major for the first time since 1995 and will be a real threat in the second week of the final Grand Slam tournament of the season.
"We play so much outside of the States obviously, a lot of time in Europe," Tiafoe said. "This sport's so international, so to be able to play in front of friends, family, loved ones, is amazing. They don't get to see you much, so you want to put on a show."

Aryna Sabalenka is clinging on to her US Open **** le and the world number one spot after an unconvincing win over Taylor Townsend.
The Belarusian battled through 6-4, 6-3 on Arthur Ashe Stadium in a bizarre match which featured 11 breaks of serve from 19 games.
Sabalenka has spent 99 weeks at the top of the rankings but she needs to win a third straight Flushing Meadows crown - and for current number two Elena Rybakina to lose before the semi-finals - if she is to reach a century.
Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula are also within striking distance in a four-way battle for the number one spot.
But Sabalenka insisted: "I completely separate myself from that, because it's just guessing.

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, gaining confidence with every match, cruised into the US Open quarter-finals on Sunday with a comprehensive victory over Tommy Paul.
The second-seeded Spaniard, playing his first tournament after a four-month absence with a right wrist injury, beat Paul 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 to reach his fifth quarter-final at Flushing Meadows -- where he won the first of his seven Grand Slam **** les back in 2022.
The 23-year-old Spaniard will face either eighth-seeded American Ben Shelton or resurgent Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas for a place in the semi-finals.
In Paul, Alcaraz faced his first top-25 player of the tournament and he rose to the occasion, firing 33 winners in the two-hour, 20-minute victory and improving to 7-2 against the American.
Alcaraz finally broke through in a tight first set with the first break of the contest, earning three set points and converting the second.

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz reached the fourth round of the US Open with a straight-set victory over Wu Yibing and said he's getting better every match in the wake of his four-month injury absence.
China's Wu kept Alcaraz hopping with an aggressive baseline game, but Alcaraz came through 6-3, 6-4, 6-1 to line up a meeting with American Tommy Paul for a place in the quarter-finals.
Paul, seeded 20th, beat 15th-seeded Alexander Bublik 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (4/7), 6-1, 6-3.
Alcaraz won the Australian Open in January for his seventh Grand Slam ******* le. But the 23-year-old arrived at Flushing Meadows having not played since April as he recovered from a wrist injury.
His lack of match play -- and the pressure Wu applied -- was evident in 33 unforced errors, the Spaniard showing plenty of frustration along with satisfaction.

Russian veteran Karen Khachanov defeated an ailing third-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime Thursday in the second round of the US Open in four sets.
Khachanov, unseeded this year but a familiar face in the latter stages of big tournaments, beat Auger-Aliaissime 6-7 (5/7), 6-3, 6-2, 6-2.
The 26-year-old Canadian, a two-time semi-finalist at Flushing Meadows, eked out a first-set tiebreaker against the hard-hitting Russian, who himself made the US Open semifinals in 2022.
But Auger-Aliassime, who appeared to give up quickly on some ***** , was undone by a rash of unforced errors in the subsequent sets. He made 47 in all, compared with 30 for Khachanov.
Khachanov also won several key points with blistering backhand down-the-line winners.

Dart's defeat means Fran Jones is the last remaining Briton in either singles draw at Flushing Meadows.

Dart draped ice towels around her neck and used cold-air hoses at the changeovers against Bouzkova as she attempted to cool down.

Olivia Rodrigo leaned into edgy glamour for her latest look, pairing a skeleton micro minidress with Stuart Weitzman pumps. The "deja vu" singer turned heads at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, California, on September 1 for the "An Evening with Olivia Rodrigo" event. The museum's official Instagram page shared her photos from the event.
Olivia Rodrigo wore a vintage Undercover Fall/Winter 2013 Silk Skeleton Top in Orange/Black to the Grammy Museum. Styled as a micro minidress, the top featured cap sleeves and a black Peter Pan collar that rested wide across her shoulders. The garment's most eye-catching detail was the centrally printed black skeletal ribcage graphic. The goth-inspired anatomical graphic contrasted with the soft peach color of the fabric, creating a playful and edgy juxtaposition.
Styled by Chloe and Chenelle, the Grammy winner paired the lightweight dress with black sheer Wolford tights. For footwear, she opted for Stuart Weitzman Babette Patent Leather Mary Jane Pumps in black colorway. The high-shine patent finish caught the light, elevating the dark tights beneath and bringing a sleek, liquid-like **** re to her look.
The $495 shoes featured an almond-shaped toe and a slender instep strap with a metallic buckle. The 85 mm block heel elongated her frame while maintaining a retro silhouette that balanced the breezy drape of her tunic. Furthermore, its black color kept the look cohesive along her leg line.
Rodrigo wore her dark brown hair in voluminous, glossy waves parted down the side, softly framing her face. Meanwhile, her makeup was fresh and radiant. It featured a natural flush, defined lashes, and a pink lip that echoed the peach tones of her dress.

Pop superstar Olivia Rodrigo continues to showcase her passion for edgy vintage fashion. Recently, the singer attended the "An Evening with Olivia Rodrigo" event at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. Naturally, her stylish appearance captured everyone's attention. She cleverly repurposed an archival designer top into a thigh-skimming micro minidress. Ultimately, her unique outfit seamlessly blended spooky graphic elements with classic preppy aesthetic details.
For the special museum appearance on September 1, 2026, Olivia Rodrigo selected an iconic archival piece from ***** anese brand Undercover's Fall/Winter 2013 collection. Specifically, the vintage silk top showcases a soft peachy-orange shade with short sleeves. Furthermore, a contrasting black rounded collar and dark shoulder cap trims give the top a neat, structured silhouette. However, rather than pairing the top with pants or a skirt, Rodrigo wore the piece as a teeny tiny micro minidress.
The front of the dress features a detailed black ribcage and spine print running down the middle. Consequently, this bold skeleton graphic adds a rebellious, punk-rock twist to her sweet look. Moreover, celebrity stylists Chloe and Chenelle elevated the leggy silhouette by pairing the dress with semi-sheer black Wolford tights. The dark tights created a striking contrast against the bright orange silk fabric.
In addition, Rodrigo chose shiny black patent leather Stuart Weitzman "Babette" Mary Jane pumps ($495) for her footwear. The block-heel shoes featured delicate straps across her feet, injecting a dainty vintage charm into the edgy outfit. Furthermore, she kept her jewelry very subtle so the graphic vintage dress could remain the main focus.
Her beauty team complemented the look with effortless styling. Hairstylist Mary Kendall brushed her long dark locks into soft, glossy waves that fell over her shoulders. Meanwhile, makeup artist Karissa O'Hanlon gave her glowing skin, rosy flushed cheeks, and a glossy berry-pink lip. Overall, Rodrigo perfectly demonstrated her ability to turn a vintage top into an iconic micro-dress.

It's so far, so good for Carlos Alcaraz in his first tennis tournament in four-and-a-half month. But not without some stumbles.
The Spaniard encountered early trouble in the second round of the US Open against the unseeded Jaime Faria, but then shifted up a gear in a 4-6, 6-0, 6-3, 6-2 win at Flushing Meadows. He will face China's Yibing Wu in the third round.
The win means the 23-year-old Alcaraz still has not lost an ATP match to a player younger than him. Faria is roughly three months younger than him.
A slow start was understandable for Alcaraz, who last played in Barcelona in mid-April. He had been on the shelf since then with a wrist injury, forcing him to miss both Roland-Garros and Wimbledon. He didn't have much trouble in the first round, dispatching Roman Safiullin in straight sets.
Faria came out with a different look. After an exchange of easy holds, Alcaraz pressured Faria's serve in a 14-point game that ended in a hold for the challenger. Faria then returned the favor by breaking Alcaraz in another 14-point game to take a 4-3 lead and, later, the set.

Carlos Alcaraz could be hindered by a rule that is unique to the US Open as the Spaniard seeks an eighth grand slam ****** le at Flushing Meadows over the next fortnight.
Having spent the last four months sidelined by a wrist injury suffered at the Barcelona Open in April, Alcaraz is making his return to singles action at Flushing Meadows and came through his first-round match against Russia's Roman Safiullin 6-4 6-4 6-4 earlier this week.

Playing tennis at an elite level again after a wrist issue will always be fraught but Alcaraz arguably faces an even greater challenge this fortnight, given that the men's events at Flushing Meadows use a heavier tennis ball than the women's competitions in New York.

The sight of a forlorn Coco Gauff hitting serves in the rain on the US Open practice courts became the defining image of her struggles last year.
The serving yips were undermining the two-time major champion's talent. Staying out in the persistent drizzle was a sign of how desperate she had become to iron out the major flaw in her game.
Twelve months on, the 22-year-old American has returned to the US Open with a rejuvenated service game - and it was the bedrock of her 6-3 6-4 win over Turkey's Zeynep Sonmez in the New York first round on Tuesday.
Gauff starting with a swift hold to love set the tone for a dominant first set, then used her opening shot to get her out of trouble when Sonmez threatened to go a break up in the second set.
"Now it's like I can look back a year on and think, 'Oh, wow, it's a big difference'," said Gauff, who is seeded fourth at Flushing Meadows this year.

#sonmez #major

Coco Gauff opened her 2026 US Open campaign with a solid straight-set win over Turkey's Zeynep Sonmez that showcased her improved serve.
The fourth-seeded Gauff, who won the New York Grand Slam in 2023, was broken only once to top the 53rd-ranked Sonmez 6-3, 6-4 in a hard-hitting battle fought mostly from the baseline.
"It's incredible to be back on this court," an exuberant Gauff told the on-court interviewer. "I love playing in this atmosphere."
Gauff, whose service woes last year prompted a dramatic coaching change days before the tournament and contributed to a fourth round exit, came into Flushing Meadows this time feeling much better about the stroke, having won the WTA 1000 event in Cincinnati this month.
Gauff said she had worked make the toss more consistent under the tutelage of biomechanics expert Gavin Macmillan, who previously helped Aryna Sabalenka retool her serve, improvements that helped the Belarussian rise to number one.

With a fresh Cincinnati Open **** le in her pocket and a path to the World No. 1 ranking in her sights, Coco Gauff looked very much the part Tuesday night in her opening-round match at the US Open.
On the final scheduled day of first-round play at Flushing Meadows, Gauff took on Türkiye's Zeynep Sönmez in prime time. She started her tournament with an ace that set the tone for an efficient 6-3, 6-4 win.
Gauff was largely dominant on serve, which repeatedly exceeded 120 mph. When she surrendered a second-set break, she maintained her composure to regain control of the match.
Gauff broke Sönmez to take a 4-2 lead and seize control of the first set. She then broke Sönmez's opening serve of the second for a chance at a runaway win.
But Sönmez broke back to get back on serve and 2-2 and keep pressure on Gauff. Sönmez won three straight games and had multiple break-points to win a fourth. But Gauff battled back to remain on serve at 3-3

NEW YORK (AP) — Serena Williams is getting back on the court against Maya Joint — this time with sister Venus by her side.
The Williams sisters were drawn Tuesday to face the team of Hao-Ching Chan and Joint, who beat Serena at Wimbledon this summer, in their opening women's doubles match at the U.S. Open.
Serena Williams, 44, returned this year after four years out of action and lost to Joint, a 20-year-old from Australia, 6-3, 6-7 (6), 6-3. She injured her knee in the match and had to pull out of her planned doubles match at the All England Club with Venus, 46.
But they are set to compete at the U.S. Open, where the Williams sisters won the ****** le in 1999 and 2009 and are 27-7 in their nine appearances. They last played in 2022, losing in the first round in what was expected to be Serena's final match in Flushing Meadows.
Joint and Chan are the No. 14-seeded team.
