Britain’s Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski have progressed to the third round of the men’s doubles at Wimbledon.
The French Open runners-up, seeded sixth at the All England Club, defeated Colombian Nicolas Barrientos and India’s Rithvik Choudary Bollipalli 6-4 7-6 (9-7).
They will face Argentine 12th seeds Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni for a place in the quarter-finals.
But all-British pairings Sonay Kartal and Jodie Burrage, and Mimi Xu and Ella McDonald, were eliminated from the women’s doubles competition.
Kartal, who will face Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova for a place in the quarter-finals of the women’s singles on Sunday, and team-mate Burrage lost 6-3 6-1 to Brazil’s Beatriz Haddad Maia and Germany’s Laura Siegemund.
Xu and McDonald fell to Americans Sofia Kenin and Caroline Dolehide 6-2 6-3.
In the mixed doubles, Marcus Willis and Alicia Barnett were beaten 7-5 6-1 by Mexican Santiago Gonzalez and Slovakia’s Tereza Mihalikova.
Salisbury is a four-time major champion in men’s doubles, with each of those successes coming alongside American Rajeev Ram, while Skupski triumphed at Wimbledon alongside Dutchman Wesley Koolhof two years ago.
Having joined forces at this year’s Australian Open, where they exited in the second round, they reached the Roland Garros final but lost out to Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos.
They settled the first set with a single break of serve before prevailing in a 16-point second-set tie-break, during which they saved three set points to avoid being taken to a decider.
Also in men’s doubles action on Saturday are British fifth seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool, who face German Hendrik Jebens and France’s Albano Olivetti.
