Britons Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski reached the French Open men’s doubles quarter-finals with victory over second seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos.

Murray and Skupski put in an impressive performance to beat last month’s Italian Open champions 6-3 4-6 6-4.

The 13th seeds will face German pairing Kevin Krawietz and Andreas Mies next.

Fellow Briton Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram also beat Jeremy Chardy and Fabrice Martin to reach the last eight.

Australian Open champions Salisbury, 28, and 36-year-old American Ram easily beat the French duo 6-3 6-2.

The third seeds will play either Bruno Soares and Mate Pavic or Horia Tecau and Jean-Julien Rojer.

Murray, 34, has never won the doubles title at the French Open – his previous best was reaching the quarter-finals in 2017 with Soares.

He and Skupski, 30, recovered well after being edged out of a tight second set, breaking their opponents at the first opportunity in the decider.

The two did not face a break point in the final set and served the match out with ease.
