British pair Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski came from a set to win Christian Harrison and Evan King and reach the final of the open French men’s pairs.
The eighth seeds, which only joined at the beginning of the season, beat the American duo 6-7 (5-7) by 6-3 7-6 (10-7).
This is the first time that Salisbury or Skupski range beyond the quarterfinals in the men’s pairs in Paris.
They will face Marcel Granollers from Spain and Argentina Horacio Zeballos on Saturday, starting at 15:30 BST.
