Bhambri storms into maiden Grand Slam doubles SF

New York, Sep 4 (UNI) India’s Yuki Bhambri continued his dream run at the US Open 2025, advancing to his first-ever Grand Slam semifinal in men’s doubles along with partner Michael Venus of New Zealand.
The Indo-Kiwi duo stunned 11th seeds Nikola Mektić of Croatia and American veteran Rajeev Ram 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 in a high-quality quarterfinal clash at Flushing Meadows on Wednesday. The contest, played on Court 17, showcased Bhambri’s sharp net play and Venus’ powerful serving, as the pair closed out the victory in straight sets.
Bhambri, currently ranked world No. 32 in doubles, had reached the US Open pre-quarterfinals last year with Frenchman Albano Olivetti but has now gone two steps further to mark the biggest achievement of his career.
