Harrison and Skupski beat Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz 6-4, 7-6 (8/6) to win the 2026 US Open men’s doubles title.

They won both the Australian Open and the US Open in the same year, joining only two other teams this century to do so.

The pair did not drop a set during the US Open, the third team in the Open era to do that in New York.

# Quick summary Christian Harrison and Neal Skupski won the US Open men's doubles title, beating Germany's Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz 6-4, 7-6 (8/6). The victory follows their Australian Open title earlier in the year, giving the pair two Grand Slams in 2026.

# Match details The final scoreline was 6-4, 7-6 (8/6). Harrison and Skupski closed out the match in straight sets and saved a set point in the second-set tiebreak before Skupski finished the match. The win completed a run at the US Open in which they did not drop a set.

# What this win means

  • The duo became one of only three teams this century to win the Australian Open and US Open in the same year. The other two teams are Bob and Mike Bryan and Jamie Murray with Bruno Soares.
  • The trophy presentation included Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares, marking the 10th anniversary of Murray and Soares's US Open triumph.

# Players' reactions Harrison said: "It has been a great year. To get two titles like this, I'm speechless -- and to do it at home." Skupski said he was still absorbing the result: "I'm still in shock. Losing twice and having match points last year was a tough part of my career, but it's amazing what a year does in tennis."

# Context and background Neal Skupski had reached previous US Open finals in 2022 and 2025, finishing runner-up on both occasions with different partners. Partnering with Harrison earlier in the year produced an Australian Open title and now the US Open, showing that the pairing has delivered two majors in 2026. Krawietz and Puetz reached the final as the sixth seeds but were beaten in straight sets in the championship match.

# What to watch next Expect the Harrison–Skupski partnership to remain a focus at the remaining tournaments this season. Their ability to close matches under pressure, shown by saving a set point in the tiebreak, will be a feature opponents study. For Krawietz and Puetz, the final is a marker they can challenge for more majors and should motivate adjustments to push past the late rounds.

# Bottom line Harrison and Skupski capped a strong year with a US Open title and an Australian Open–US Open double. Their straight-sets run at Flushing Meadows and the statistical rarities attached to it underline that this partnership delivered at the sport's biggest moments in 2026.
