Overview

• The Indo-Kiwi team lost 7-6(2), 6-7(5), 4-6 in a near three-hour battle at Louis Armstrong Stadium.
• Salisbury and Skupski moved into the title match to face Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos.
• Bhambri and Venus reached the last four by ousting fourth seeds Kevin Krawietz/Tim Puetz and 11th seeds Nikola Mektic/Rajeev Ram.
• The run marks Bhambri’s best result at a major after injuries curtailed his singles career and he pivoted to doubles this season.
• Indian outlets noted the milestone within the country’s doubles tradition, though reports differed on whether he is the fourth or sixth Indian man to make an Open-era men’s doubles semifinal.
