Britain’s Joe Salisbury won twice in the same day to progress in both the men’s and mixed doubles at the French Open.

The all-British pairing of Salisbury and Heather Watson eased through to the second round of the mixed doubles with a 6-2 6-4 win over French wildcards Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Fiona Ferro.

That came after Salisbury and American partner Rajeev Ram won 6-4 6-4 against Ecuador’s Gonzalo Escobar and Kazakhstan’s Aleksandr Nedovyesov earlier on Sunday to reach the men’s doubles third round.

Third seeds Salisbury and Ram have won four Grand Slam titles together but have never gone beyond the quarter-finals in Paris.

They will face French duo Gregoire Barrere and Lucas Pouille, who defeated Britain’s Jamie Murray and New Zealand’s Michael Venus, next.

Murray and Venus, seeded 13th, squandered three set points in the second-set tie-break before home hopes Barrere and Pouille closed out a 6-4 7-6 (8-6) win.

Salisbury and Watson – who needed just 61 minutes to record their opening win at Roland Garros – will next play either Desirae Krawczyk and fellow Briton Neal Skupski or Shuko Aoyama and Gonzalo Escobar.

Meanwhile, Henry Patten and Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara triumphed 6-3 7-5 against Luke Johnson and Tunisia’s Skander Mansouri.

But there was disappointment for Skupski and his German partner Andreas Mies in the men’s doubles, as the 12th seeds lost 4-6 6-4 6-3 to China’s Zhang Zhizhen and Czech Tomas Machac.

In the women’s doubles, Maia Lumsden and China’s Wang Yafan lost 6-3 7-5 to 16th seeds Miyu Kato of Japan and Ukraine’s Nadiia Kichenok.
