Kiwi Michael Venus and Chinese Taipei partner Hao-Ching Chan are through to the final of the mixed doubles draw at the 2019 US Open.

On Thursday, they defeated the combination of Latisha Chan (Chinese Taipei) and Ivan Dodig (Croatia) 0 7-6 7-5 in the semi-finals.

They'll square off with American Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Briton Jamie Murray in the final, which will be played at Sunday 4am (NZ time) before the women's singles final.

Mattek-Sands and Murray coasted to a 6-3 6-1 win over Rajeev Ram and Samantha Stosur in their semi-final. 

Venus and Chan also reached the finale at Flushing Meadow two years ago, losing to Murray and Swiss Martina Hingis.
