Brits Joe Salisbury: India’s Yuki Bhambri reached his first-ever Grand Slam semifinal after he and his New Zealand partner Michael Venus secured a spot in the U.S. Open men’s doubles last four.

The Indo-Kiwi pair pulled off a notable upset against the 11th-seeded duo of Nikola Mektic and Rajeev Ram, clinching a hard-fought 6-3, 6-7(8), 6-3 victory in their quarterfinal showdown on Court 17 on Wednesday.

For 33-year-old Bhambri, this marks a significant milestone in his career. Once the junior world No. 1 and winner of the 2009 Australian Open boys’ title, he has now achieved his best-ever result at a senior Grand Slam. His journey, marked by persistent injuries and a transition from singles to doubles, has finally brought him to a major semifinal - a breakthrough moment.
