Bryan Brothers Storm into Final

American No. 2 seeds Bob and Mike Bryan are right on course to win their second US Open title this year, as they stormed into the championship round with a routine 6-2, 6-1 victory over Tommy Robredo and Sergio Roitman in Wednesday’s semifinal action.

This will be the third time the Bryans have reached the final at Flushing Meadows, after they won the title in 2005. Their only loss in the US Open final came in 2003 against Todd Woodbridge and Jonas Bjorkman.

Their opponents for the championship match were also determined on Wednesday. The Bryans are slated to face off against No. 7 seeds Lukas Dlouhy and Leander Paes, who also took care of business in their semifinal match pretty quickly with a 40-minute win.

Since all the seeded teams were eliminated in the Bryans' half of the draw, Dlouhy and Paes will be the only seeded duo the Americans will have to face in the tournament.

Dlouhy and Paes gave up only two games in their 6-2, 6-0 rout of Argentine team Maximo Gonzalez and Juan Monaco. Dlouhy and Paes held a strong service game, winning 86 percent of first-serve points.

Top-seeded women’s doubles team Cara Black and Liezel Huber still have not dropped a set en route to the semifinals of the US Open tournament.

Black and Huber have partnered for the past three years, winning 19 titles together, including two Grand Slams. On Wednesday, they sailed through the quarterfinals with a 6-4, 6-3 win over the Chinese team of Zi Yan and Jie Zheng. Their win sets up a semifinal meeting with the Spanish No. 5 seeds, Anabel Medina Garrigues and Virginia Ruano Pascual.

The Spanish tandem narrowly edged out the American women’s team of Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears, coming back from a set down to win it, 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (2).
