Overview
- The reunion was announced in a JioStar interview republished by multiple Indian outlets on Saturday and confirms Bhambri will partner New Zealander Michael Venus in the men’s doubles at the US Open 2026.
- Bhambri described last year’s run to the 2025 US Open semifinals as a breakthrough that produced a 'mental switch' and raised his expectations for Grand Slam doubles results.
- He said New York’s crowd and visible support from Indian fans energize him and make Flushing Meadows a special place to compete.
- Bhambri warned the draw offers an immediate test, naming a tough first-round match against two American players and stressing a match-by-match approach.
