Arevalo/Pavic & Krawietz/Puetz Reach Doubles Final

Fifth seeds Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic saved all four break points they faced Saturday to defeat Indian Wells champions Guido Andreozzi and Manuel Guinard 6-3, 7-5 and reach the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters doubles final.

Both players are former World No. 1s and their three titles last year all came at ATP Masters 1000 level: Rome, Miami and Indian Wells. But they are yet to taste success in 2026.

They will face sixth seeds Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz, who toughed out a 7-6(3), 4-6, 10-8 win over Monegasque Hugo Nys and Frenchman Edouard Roger-Vasselin.

Krawietz and Puetz are chasing their first title since winning their first ATP Masters 1000 in Shanghai last year.

The Germans lead their series 4-2 against Arevalo and Pavic, with all six meetings coming in 2024.
