Wimbledon champions Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara moved into the quarter-finals of the French Open men’s doubles with a dominant win over Rohan Bopanna and Adam Pavlasek.
The second seeds cruised to a 6-2 7-6 (7-5) victory to set up a last-eight tie with American ninth seeds Christian Harrison and Evan King.
Briton Patten and Finland’s Heliovaara only started partnering each other last year but are already targeting their third Grand Slam triumph having won last year’s Wimbledon and this year’s Australian Open titles.
In the third round of the women’s doubles, Britain’s Olivia Nicholls and Slovakian partner Tereza Mihalikova were beaten 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (6-3) 6-0 by Olga Danilovic of Serbia and Anastasia Potapova of Russia.
Nicholls and Patten will feature together in Monday’s mixed doubles quarter-finals where the British duo are taking on Italian third seeds Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori.
