Playing at the same time as his brother Andy was beginning his straight-sets singles fourth-round victory against Stanislas Wawrinka on Arthur Ashe Stadium, Murray and American Huber needed a match tie-break to win their closely-fought quarter-final on court 13 at the Billie Jean National Tennis Centre.

Unseeded Murray and Huber beat Slovenia’s Srebotnik and Serbia’s Zimonjic 7-6 (7/5) 6-7 (9/11) 11-9 and will now face wild cards Jill Craybas and Eric Butorac – Murray’s former men’s doubles partner – in the last four.

It is the second year in a row Murray and Huber have reached the semi-finals at Flushing Meadows.
