Ash Barty and Casey Dellacqua, and John Peers alongside Scot Jamie Murray, will take to the courts at Roland Garros on Saturday in doubles action.
Barty and Dellacqua, the No.7 seeds, will attempt to keep their strong form going from last week’s doubles title in Strasbourg in the second round of the women’s doubles, while Peers and Murray face a tough assignment in the third round on the “bull-ring” No.1 Court in the form of the top-ranked Bryan brothers.
The last Aussie remaining in the singles, Sam Stosur, is expected to play her fourth round match against Maria Sharapova on Sunday.
