French pairings enjoyed a memorable Monday at the Rolex Paris Masters, where two wild-card teams advanced to the second round of doubles at the ATP Masters 1000 event.
Benjamin Bonzi and Arthur Rinderknech secured a hard-fought 7-5, 7-6(4) victory over Robert Galloway and Andre Goransson, while Quentin Halys and Pierre-Hugues Herbert also delighted the home crowd, defeating Austin Krajicek and Nikola Mektic 7-6(5), 1-6, 10-7. Halys and Herbert will next meet third seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos.
Singles stars Francisco Cerundolo and Tomas Martin Etcheverry made a winning start to their doubles campaign, overcoming Marc Polmans and Jan Zielinski 6-4, 1-6, 10-3 to set a second-round showdown with second seeds Christian Harrison and Neal Skupski.
Harrison and Skupski, who have captured two Grand Slam titles this season, are second in the PIF ATP Live Doubles Teams Rankings and have already secured their place at the Nitto ATP Finals, which takes place later this month.
