Cabal/Farah Breeze Into US Open Quarter-finals

Top seeds Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah powered into the doubles quarter-finals on Monday at the US Open, scoring the lone break in each set to defeat No. 13 seeds Robin Haase/Wesley Koolhof 6-4, 6-4. This year’s Wimbledon champions will face Luke Bambridge/Ben McLachlan in the next round.

Jack Sock and Mike Bryan prevailed together last year in New York (d. Kubot/Melo), but found themselves across the net. Sock/Jackson Withrow toppled No. 7 seeds Mike/Bob Bryan 6-4, 7-5. The victory puts the 26-year-old Withrow into his first Grand Slam quarter-final. Sock/Withrow will take on No. 15 seeds Jamie Murray/Neal Skupski for a place in the last four.

Oliver Marach/Jurgen Melzer, the No. 16 seeds, enjoyed a dominant 6-0, 6-3 win over #NextGenATP duo Miomir Kecmanovic/Casper Ruud. Melzer prevailed here in 2011 with Philipp Petzschner (d. Fyrstenberg/Matkowski). Next up for Marach/Melzer are eighth seeds Marcel Granollers/Horacio Zeballos.
