Harrison, Skupski win US Open men’s doubles title
Christian Harrison and Neal Skupski beat Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz 6-4, 7-6 (8/6) to add another major title to their Australian Open crown.
Christian Harrison and Neal Skupski claimed the US Open men's doubles title on Saturday, defeating Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz in straight sets. The American and British duo secured a 6-4, 7-6 (8/6) victory, marking their second major title in the same year alongside the Australian Open win. Only three teams in the past century have achieved this feat, joining the Bryan brothers and Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares.
Skupski expressed his amazement, stating it was "speechless" to win two titles simultaneously, especially at home. Harrison added that the accomplishment was "amazing" after previously facing adversity, including match points in the 2022 and 2023 finals. The pair's impressive performance secured their place as the third team in the Open era to achieve this milestone, following John McEnroe and Peter Fleming in 1983 and the Bryan brothers in 2008 and 2010.
