Britain's Jamie Murray reached the third round of the men's doubles at the US Open but compatriot Naomi Broady lost in the women's doubles.
Murray and Brazilian Bruno Soares, champions in 2016 and fourth seeds this year, beat New Zealand's Marcus Daniell and Dutchman Wesley Koolhof 6-3 6-4.
But Broady and American Danielle Rose Collins were beaten 6-2 7-5 by Timea Bacsinszky and Vera Zvonareva.
Britain's Dom Inglot also progressed with Croatian partner Franco Skugor.
They beat Serb Dusan Lajovic and Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 6-4 to join Murray in the third round.
British hopes of success hang on the doubles after early singles exits.
Murray is also still in the mixed doubles, in which he is partnering American Bethanie Mattek-Sands.

Of course that's near impossible now with the ATP schedule, players are burning out just playing singles.
Why can't he play singles this Murray? Is it because only real tennis players can compete for this whereas those happy to play with girls in so called mixed doubles just to take it easier and win something. Waste of time bragging about hollow victories.
You do realise that he's won Mens Doubles Grand Slams don't you - oh and please tell us about your sporting triumphs.
Did his partner make it as well?
Pointless format
I can only think of 2 famous Murrays in the land. Murray Mints and Murray Field.
doubles is second tier tennis
