Yuki Bhambri and Michael Venus, the 14th seeds, advanced to the US Open men’s doubles third round by defeating Gonzalo Escobar and Miguel Reyes-Varela in straight sets. The Indo-Kiwi pair, who teamed up a month ago, displayed strong teamwork, particularly in a tense second set. Next, they are set to face the fourth-seeded German duo, Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz.
