The second-seeded duo claimed a 6-1, 3-6, 10-6 win over Chinese Taipei-Belarus pair of Yung-Jan Chan and Max Mirnyi in the quarterfinal round at Roland Garros.

Sania and Dodig produced a rich vein of form to secure the opening set but faltered in the second one before clinching the thrilling super tie-breaker. They will next face local favourites Kristina Mladenovic and Pierre-Hugues Herbert to secure a spot in the final.
