10 Out Of 10: Klaasen/McLachlan Reach Santiago Quarter-finals

10-Mar-2021 22:41:00 | ATP World Tour

Raven Klaasen and Ben McLachlan saved all 10 break points they faced on Wednesday to defeat Roberto Carballes Baena and Federico Coria 6-3, 6-2 at the Chile Dove Men+Care Open.

The top seeds held their nerves under pressure and broke serve on three occasions to reach the quarter-finals after 64 minutes. Klaasen and McLachlan are chasing their second trophy as a team, following their maiden title run as a pair at last year’s bett1HULKS Championship in Cologne.

Chilean wild cards Marcelo Tomas Barrios Vera and Alejandro Tabilo upset second seeds Austin Krajicek and Franko Skugor 6-3, 6-4. Barrios Vera and Tabilo dropped just four points behind their first serves (27/31) and did not face a break point en route to the quarter-finals.
