Christian Harrison and Neal Skupski added another major trophy to their collection Saturday, capturing the US Open men's doubles championship with a commanding performance at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The American-British duo defeated German pair Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz in straight sets, winning 6-4, 7-6 (6) to secure their second Grand Slam doubles title of the year. The victory marks a continuation of the partnership's dominant season on the doubles circuit.
Harrison, representing the United States, and his British partner Skupski controlled the match from the opening set, breaking serve early and maintaining pressure throughout. The second set proved more competitive, requiring a tiebreak to determine the outcome. The pair ultimately prevailed 7-6 in the breaker to close out the championship without dropping a set.
Krawietz and Puetz, both from Germany, fought valiantly but could not find answers to the varied attack and solid service games of their opponents. The German team's inability to convert break point opportunities in crucial moments proved costly in the final analysis.
The triumph represents Harrison and Skupski's second major championship together in 2026, cementing their status as one of the premier doubles teams in professional tennis. Their chemistry and complementary playing styles have produced consistent results throughout the season's biggest tournaments.
