The pair, French Open quarter-finalists last year, will face Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik and Mikhail Kukushkin for a place in Sunday’s final.

O’Mara and his partner Marcelo Arevalo from El Salvador face fourth seeds Ivan Dodig of Croatia and Slovakia’s Filip Polasek in the quarter-finals on Tuesday, while Skupski and Mexican Santiago Gonzalez play Australian wildcards Max Purcell and Luke Saville.
