Tecau/Rojer Upset Bryan/Sock To Reach Paris Final

Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau advanced to their third tour-level championship match of the season on Saturday, beating Mike Bryan and Jack Sock 6-1, 7-5 at the Rolex Paris Masters.

The Dutch-Romanian duo advanced after one hour, winning 83 per cent of service points (40/48) en route to victory. Rojer and Tecau are seeking their third tour-level title of the season after title runs in Dubai and Winston-Salem earlier this year.

Bryan and Sock were also bidding to reach their third tour-level championship match of the season, following Grand Slam success at Wimbledon and the US Open. The American duo drops to 16-5 since joining forces at the Fever-Tree Championships in June.

Rojer and Tecau will meet Marcel Granollers and Rajeev Ram for the title on Sunday. Granollers and Ram reached the final after Mate Pavic was forced to withdraw from the tournament, with Oliver Marach, due to an abdominal injury. Competing as a team for the first time, the Spanish-American tandem are yet to drop a set in the French capital.
