The formidable doubles partnership of Marcelo Arévalo from El Salvador and Mate Pavic of Croatia has secured a spot in the Wimbledon semifinals. They achieved this by overcoming the tournament's third seeds, Britain's Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool, in a hard-fought quarterfinal match.
The scoreline read 6-2, 7-6(2) in favor of Arévalo and Pavic, who have demonstrated impressive form throughout the grass-court season. This victory extends their current winning streak on grass to eight consecutive matches without a loss.
Their success this season includes a significant title win at the ATP 500 Queen's tournament just two weeks prior. In that event, they also defeated Cash and Glasspool in the semifinals before going on to beat the world's number one pair, Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten, in the final.
This semifinal appearance at the All England Club marks a return for Arévalo and Pavic, who reached the same stage last year but were unable to compete for the title. They now await the winners of the match between Germany's Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz, and France's Sadio Dumbia and Fabien Reboul, to determine their next opponents.
