Aussies Ash Barty, Casey Dellacqua and Thanasi Kokkinakis will feature on Thursday at Flushing Meadows as the US Open progresses to its business end.
Barty and Dellacqua stand just one win away from an incredible third Grand Slam women’s doubles final of 2013; they will take on 10th seeds Sania Mirza of India and China’s Zheng Jie on Louis Armstrong Stadium.
Barty and Dellacqua, the No.8 seeds and reigning Australian Open and Wimbledon finalists, have yet to drop a set in four victories at Flushing Meadows this year.
Also taking to the hardcourts of New York will be young gun Kokkinakis; the 17-year-old from South Australia will face Austria’s Lucas Miedler for a place in the boys’ singles quarterfinals, and will combine with Italy’s Gianluigi Quinzi in boys’ doubles quarterfinal action.
