In the upper half of the draw, Salisbury and Skupski continued to jump back from their defeat of the championship in Toronto by counting defender Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic 6-4, 6-3 to reach the last four.
Salisbury and Skupski, who are number 5 in the ranking of PIF ATP Live Doubles Teams, established a meeting with singles star Lorenzo Musetti and Lorenzo Sonego, who survived Francisco Cabral and Lucas Miedler 6-4, 3-6, 10-6.
