p a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/nathaniel-lammons/li37/overview'Nathaniel Lammons/a and a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/jackson-withrow/w686/overview'Jackson Withrow/a snapped one of the most impressive winning streaks in a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/us-open/560/overview'US Open/a history on Monday afternoon. /p

p The home favourites defeated three-time defending champions a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/rajeev-ram/r548/overview'Rajeev Ram/a and a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/joe-salisbury/so70/overview'Joe Salisbury/a 7-6(3), 6-3 to book their quarter-final spot at the hard-court major in New York. Third seeds Ram and Salisbury had won 20 straight matches at the a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/us-open/560/overview'US Open/a dating back to the start of their 2021 title run, but they could not deny Lammons and Withrow on Grandstand. /p

p The 13th-seeded pair produced a dominant serving performance. It won 92 per cent (35/38) of points behind first deliveries in its 95-minute third-round win. Lammons and Withrow, who have already lifted ATP Tour trophies on American hard courts in Atlanta, Washington and Winston-Salem this year, are now 2-2 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series with Ram and Salisbury. /p
