The young American doubles team of Brandon Carpico and Nikita Filin continued their surprising run at the US Open by upsetting the veteran pairing of Marcelo Melo and John Peers in the second round. The match concluded with a score of 3-6, 7-6, 6-4 on the Grandstand court.
Melo and Peers, who have a history of playing together intermittently since 2023, both have past appearances in the U.S. Open finals with different partners. Carpico and Filin, who received a wild card into the tournament, had already achieved a significant upset in the first round by defeating the No. 8 seeds, Orlando Luz and Rafael Matos.
