Nys/Zielinski reach QFs
Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek continued their impressive 2023 season on Monday at the US Open where they defeated Vasil Kirkov and Denis Kudla 5-7, 6-4, 7-5 to reach their eighth tour-level quarter-final of the season.
The Croatian-American team has lifted four trophies together this season, including their first major at Roland Garros. The second seeds overcame a tough battle against Kirkov and Kudla to keep alive their hopes of triumphing in New York, saving one match point at 4-5 in the third set to advance.
From our partners:
They will next play Hugo Nys and Jan Zielinski after the ninth seeds beat Santiago Gonzalez and Edouard Roger-Vasselin 6-7(3), 6-4, 6-2. Nys and Zielinski clinched their maiden ATP Masters 1000 title together in Rome in May.
Americans Nathaniel Lammons and Jackson Withrow also advanced, upsetting top seeds Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski 7-6(2), 6-3. Lammons and Withrow have now won their past seven matches, having clinched their third tour-level crown of the season in Winston-Salem.
Robert Galloway and Albano Olivetti advanced to the quarter-finals, upsetting fourth seeds Marcelo Arevalo and Jean-Julien Rojer 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in one hour and 59 minutes.
