Britons Salisbury & Skupski reach last eight

Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski have reached the finals of the Qatar and Barcelona Opens in 2025

British pair Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski cruised into the French Open quarter-finals with a clinical win over Portuguese-French duo Nuno Borges and Arthur Rinderknech.

The eighth seeds were 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 winners on Court Simonne Mathieu to set up a meeting with Australian 15th seeds Matthew Ebden and John Peers.

Salisbury and Skupski, who paired up at the start of the 2025 season, have won nine Grand Slam titles between them, but neither have gone beyond the quarter-finals of the men's doubles at Roland Garros.

Meanwhile, British sixth seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool lost their third round match 6-3 2-6 7-6 (10-7) to Briton Luke Johnson and Sander Arends of the Netherlands.

Glasspool is also out of the mixed doubles after he and Mexican partner Giuliana Olmos lost 6-3 6-2 to Chinese-Salvadorian second seeds Zhang Shuai and Marcelo Arevalo.

Unseeded Johnson and Arends take on Monaco's Hugo Nys and France's Edouard Roger-Vasselin - the sixteenth seeds - in the quarter-finals.

Elsewhere, British duo Henry Patten and Olivia Nicholls were unable to contest their mixed doubles quarter-final with Italian fourth seeds Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori after Nicholls failed to recover from a hand injury.
