India’s Yuki Bhambri and his New Zealand partner Michael Venus advanced to the men’s doubles pre-quarterfinals at the US Open 2025 in New York on Monday.

The 14th-seeded pair achieved a decisive 6-1, 7-5 victory over the unseeded duo of Colombia’s Gonzalo Escobar and Mexico’s Miguel Angel Reyes-Varela in one hour and 25 minutes at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre.

How Yuki Bhambri And Michael Venus Won?

Bhambri, ranked No. 32 in the world and India’s highest-ranked men’s doubles player, along with Venus, started strong by breaking their opponents twice to secure an early 3-0 lead and ultimately took the first set 6-1 with ease. Although Escobar and Reyes-Varela put up more resistance in the second set, Bhambri and Venus maintained their composure to win it 7-5, earning a spot in the last 16.

“Happy to win in straight sets again. These matches can get tricky," Yuki Bhambri said.

Their next challenge will be against the fourth-seeded German duo of Tim Puetz and Kevin Krawietz.

“Looking forward to another 3rd round at the open against a tough german pair who were finalists last year and have been consistent top 10 players. Hopefully we can keep trying and win as much as we can," he added.

Previously, Bhambri and Venus defeated the American pair Marcos Giron and Learner Tien in their opening match with a 6-0, 6-3 victory. In 2024, Bhambri teamed up with French player Albano Olivetti but was defeated by Spain’s Marcel Granollers and Argentina’s Horacio Zeballos in straight sets in the pre-quarterfinals. Bhambri has yet to progress beyond the pre-quarterfinal stage in a Grand Slam.

On Sunday, the Indian pair Anirudh Chandrasekar and Vijay Sundar Prashanth exited the tournament after losing 6-4, 6-3 to Brazil’s Fernando Romboli and Australia’s John-Patrick Smith. However, they had previously caused an upset by defeating the eighth-seeded Americans Evan King and Christian Harrison in the first round.

Indian veteran Rohan Bopanna and his partner Romain Arneodo of Monaco faced a first-round exit on Saturday, while Arjun Kadhe and Ecuador’s Diego Hidalgo also bowed out in the first round.
