Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic advanced to the final at the National Bank Open presented by Rogers for the first time as a team on Wednesday, when they downed Theo Arribage and Albano Olivetti 6-4, 6-4.

The third seeds saved all four break points they faced to move to within one win of their ninth title together and second of the season.

They have triumphed together at this level in Indian Wells, Miami, Rome and Cincinnati.

Arevalo has tasted previous success in Canada, having lifted the trophy with Jean-Julien Rojer in 2023 in Toronto.

Arevalo and Pavic, who previously lost in the semi-finals together in Montreal in 2024, will meet Orlando Luz and Rafael Matos in Thursday's final, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. local time. Luz and Matos rallied from 1/5 and 3/6 in the second-set tie-break to defeat Francisco Cerundolo and Tomas Martin Etcheverry 6-4, 7-6(7) and reach their first Masters 1000 title match.
