Pella/Schwartzman Beat Rojer/Tecau To Reach Roland Garros Semi-finals
Argentines Guido Pella and Diego Schwartzman proved to be too strong on serve for Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau, beating the No. 10 seeds 6-4, 6-4 in 82 minutes on Monday for a place in the Roland Garros semi-finals.
Pella and Schwartzman won five straight games from 3-4 in the first set to 2-0 in the second set against the 2015 semi-finalists. They will now challenge Serbians Dusan Lajovic and Janko Tipsarevic or Germans Kevin Krawietz and Andreas Mies.
Colombians Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah are one win away from reaching their second Grand Slam championship title match (2018 Australian Open).
The third seeds swept past Mikhail Kukushkin and Joran Vliegen 6-2, 6-2 in 61 minutes for a place in the semi-finals, where they will meet 11th seeds Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury or Frenchmen Jeremy Chardy and Fabrice Martin.
Cabal partnered Eduardo Schwank to the 2011 Roland Garros doubles final (l. to Mirnyi/Nestor).
