As the French Open 2025 intensifies on the clay courts of Paris, the Men’s Doubles Round of 16 delivered powerful performances, unexpected results, and a few heartbreaks. While some top seeds cruised through, others saw their Grand Slam hopes end. Here’s a look at how the doubles action unfolded —
🔥 Granollers & Zeballos Dominate Gonzalez/Krajicek
The No. 5 seeds, Marcel Granollers (ESP) and Horacio Zeballos (ARG), proved too strong for the Mexico-USA duo of Santiago Gonzalez and Austin Krajicek, winning comfortably:
6-2, 6-1.
Their experience and net dominance made this one a quick day at the office.
🎾 Dodig & Luz Stage Comeback to Outlast Romboli/Smith
It was a rollercoaster three-set match as Ivan Dodig (CRO) and Orlando Luz (BRA) edged past Brazil’s Fernando Romboli and Australia’s John-Patrick Smith:
4-6, 7-6(5), 6-4.
Dodig’s veteran poise combined with Luz’s energy turned the tide after a tough opening set.
💪 King & Harrison March On with Straight-Sets Win
American pair Evan King and Christian Harrison (9) showed sharp form in their straight-set victory over India’s Yuki Bhambri and USA’s Rajeev Galloway:
6-4, 6-4.
With consistent serving and quick hands at the net, they’re looking dangerous heading into the quarters.
😮 Upset Alert! Heliovaara & Patten Knock Out Bopanna & Pavlasek
A surprise result saw the No. 2 seeds, Rohan Bopanna (IND) and Adam Pavlasek (CZE), fall to Finland’s Harri Heliovaara and Great Britain’s Henry Patten:
6-2, 7-6(5).
Bopanna’s exit is a shocker for many fans, especially after his strong performance earlier this season.
