British wheelchair doubles partnership Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid cruised through to the final of the US Open, where they will go for a 24th Grand Slam title.
The pair, who have won five titles at Flushing Meadows, beat France’s Stephane Houdet and Japan’s Takuya Miki 6-2 6-0.
They will meet Argentine Gustavo Fernandez and Japan’s Tokito Oda in the final.
Hewett, 27, had already continued his bid for a third straight US Open singles title with a commanding 6-2 6-3 victory over Dutch player Tom Egberink earlier on Thursday.
The second seed will face fourth seed Fernandez in his semi-final as he bids for an 11th Grand Slam singles title.
Hewett, who won the title in 2022 and 2023, is chasing a second Grand Slam singles title this season after triumphing at the Australian Open in January.
Meanwhile, Reid lost his quarter-final match 6-2 6-3 to Spanish third seed Martin de la Puente.
Fellow Briton Andy Lapthorne progressed to the semi-finals of the quad singles with a hard-fought 6-4 4-6 6-1 victory over Australian Jin Woodman.
But compatriot Greg Slade missed out with a 6-1 7-5 defeat by Dutch top seed Neils Vink.
Wheelchair tennis is making its return in New York after conflicting schedules with last year’s Paralympics in Paris meant the US Open competition was not held in 2024.
