The men’s doubles tournament is in full swing. The curiosity of this first round is the derby Jeremy Chardy/Fabrice Martin in front of Albano Olivetti et Maxime Cressy. As the Palois was in the singles competition on Thursday, this poster takes place this Friday. On court 15, at the end of the stadium, the former Roland-Garros finalists built their victory in the tie-break (7-6, 6-4). The day after his feat against Pablo Carreno-Busta, Benjamin Bonzi teamed up with Arthur Rinderknech. A well-negotiated “double-slagging” (6-2, 7-6) against the Australians John Millman et Aleksandar Vukic (wc).

Finished for brilliant Mahut, Doumbia and Reboul
Seeded n°15 with the Mexican Santiago Gonzalez, Edouard Roger-Vasselin opened with success against the Russian Aslan Karatsev and in Serbian Dusan Lajovic. Associated to Tim Puetz, Nicolas Mahut had to face Jamie Murray et Michael Venus, seeded No. 11. But the package of the defending champions Nick Kyrgios/Thanasi Kokkinakis messed up the board. The Angevin and the German were promoted to seed No. 17. A promotion without continuation: they were eliminated 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 by the Colombian Nicholas Barrientos and the Uruguayan Ariel Behar.
The people of Toulouse Sadio Doumbia et Fabien Reboul were not varnished in the print. They rubbed shoulders with Simon Bolelli et Fabio Fognini, seeded n°9. The Italian pair made their name on the charts in 2015 and reached the quarterfinals last year. But the French were stronger than the Italian veterans and won 6-3, 6-3. A great performance. Partners in Blanc-Mesnil, Quentin Halys et Adrian Mannarino also signed up. They lost 6-4, 6-4 against the Swede Andre Goransson and the Swiss Marc-Andea Huesler.
