Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid started their bid for a sixth wheelchair doubles title at the US Open with a dominant opening victory in New York.
Playing Frenchman Stephane Houdet and China’s Zhenxu Ji, the British top seeds sealed a 6-3 6-1 win to progress to the semi-finals.
They will next face Japan’s Tokito Oda and Argentina’s Gustavo Fernandez, the 2025 champions at Flushing Meadows.
Hewett, 28, and Reid, 34, have 25 Grand Slam doubles titles as a pair and begin their singles campaigns on Wednesday.
Elsewhere on Tuesday, Britain’s Andy Lapthorne enjoyed a winning start to the final major of the season in the quad wheelchair doubles.
He and South African partner Leon Els beat Americans David Wagner and Andrew Bogdanov 7-6 (7-5) 6-1.
But there was disappointment for Greg Slade and Australian Heath Davidson as they were defeated 6-0 6-0 by the top seeds, Dutchman Niels Vink and Israel’s Guy Sasson.
Vink and Sasson have won all three Grand Slam tournaments so far in 2026, and the last six majors in total.
