The pair are bidding for a sixth US Open doubles title together as a partnership, having won five in a row between 2017 and 2021.

They will face Spain's Martin de la Puente and Ruben Spaargaren of the Netherlands in the final.

Earlier on Thursday, Reid was beaten 6-1 6-0 by top seed and defending champion Oda in their singles quarter-final.

But Hewett, the second seed, progressed to the last four with a 6-2 6-0 win over American Casey Ratzlaff.

Hewett, 28, has won four singles titles in New York, most recently in 2023.

Meanwhile, fellow Briton Andy Lapthorne lost in the quad doubles alongside South African partner Leon Els - they lost to second seeds Sam Schroder of the Netherlands and Jin Woodman of Australia 4-6 6-3 10-8.

The latest update comes days after Sharat Saxena had shared pictures of himself undergoing a standing MRI at a hospital ahead of his lumbar spine surgery. His caption at the time read, “Standing mri before lumbar spine surgery at Bombay Hospital.” He was seen strapped into an upright MRI machine while undergoing the scan.

For the uninitiated, Sharat who recently turned 76, has long been known not only for his acting but also for his remarkable fitness. Born on August 17, 1950, the actor has maintained a rigorous fitness routine well into his seventies.

He is remembered for roles in films such as Mr. India, Tridev, Ghayal, Khiladi, Ghulam, Gupt: The Hidden Truth, Phir Hera Pheri, Baghban, Fanaa, Krrish and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
