It's your daily look at the doubles action at Roland Garros.
The dream season continues for Mate Pavic.
The youngest No. 1 in the ATP doubles rankings in 20 years went 2-0 in Tuesday's matches, battling through to the semifinals in the men’s event with his partner Oliver Marach. He returned to the court with Gabriela Dabrowski to earn a spot in the mixed doubles final, which will be his third major championship match of the year.
In other results, Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova, Nikola Mektic and Alexander Peya, and Hao-Ching Chan and Zhaoxuan Yang all won to make it through to the semifinals.
As the tournament heads toward its conclusion, here’s a look at some of the matches on tap for today.
Robert Farah/Anna-Lena Gronefeld (8) vs. Ivan Dodig/Latisha Chan (2): It’s been a difficult follow-up campaign for Chan, coming off the best season of her career. After winning 11 titles in 2017, she’s only reached one final this year. She’ll be the only player on court not to have reached a mixed doubles final in Roland Garros, an experience that’s fresh in the minds of Farah and Gronefeld, last year’s runners-up.
Nicolas Mahut/Pierre-Hugues Herbert (6) vs. Nicolas Jarry/Maximo Gonzalez: As two of the last three French players left in the tournament, there’s no doubt that the crowd will be involved from the first ball on to push Mahut and Herbert through to the next round. However, with that support comes the burden of expectations, which Mahut and Herbert have yet to meet together in Paris. In fact, this is their best result at the tournament to date as a team.
