Yuki Bhambri’s Grand Slam Journey Continues: Enters US Open Semifinals

Yuki Bhambri, partnering with Michael Venus, continues their impressive run at the US Open, defeating the 11th-seeded Rajeev Ram and Nikola Mektić in a thrilling three-set clash to secure a place in the semifinals.

This marks Bhambri’s maiden semifinal appearance in a Grand Slam, putting him just two wins away from a historic championship. However, the challenge will be tough as they face the formidable 6th-seeded pair from Great Britain, Neal Skupski and Joe Salisbury, in the semifinal.

Skupski and Salisbury are a proven pair on the big stage. The English duo recently finished runners-up at the French Open in June, while Salisbury has a decorated US Open record, having won three consecutive men’s doubles titles from 2021 to 2023 alongside American Rajeev Ram.
