British pair Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski booked their place in the semi-finals of the men’s doubles at the US Open after beating Czech duo Tomas Machac and Matej Vocel.
Salisbury and Skupski came through the quarter-final 7-6 (8-6) 6-3 to take a step closer to claiming a first Grand Slam title since teaming up.

Machac and Vocel saved five break points in a tight opening set but came unstuck in the tie-break.
The second set was wrapped up in just 39 minutes, with a couple of breaks helping the sixth seeds over the line.
Elsewhere, American Taylor Townsend and Czech Katerina Siniakova beat Russia’s Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens of Belgium to reach the women’s doubles final.
The top seeds, who claimed the Australian Open title together in January, won 6-3 7-6 (7-3) and are yet to drop a set.
