- On Saturday, American Christian Harrison and British partner Neal Skupski won the U.S. Open men's doubles final, defeating Germans Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz 6-4, 7-6 at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
- Skupski paired with Harrison after former partner Briton Joe Salisbury took a break from tennis due to anxiety, leading to their first Australian Open triumph together in January.
- The fifth seeds dominated at Flushing Meadows without dropping a set, becoming just the third team since 1968 to achieve this feat alongside John McEnroe and Peter Fleming.
- "I'm speechless," Harrison said after his home victory, while Skupski reflected, "I don't know what to say really, I'm still in shock" following his first U.S. Open title.
- For Skupski, the victory provides redemption after losing the 2025 U.S. Open and French Open finals, while Krawietz and Puetz have now fallen in the final twice in three years.
