Robin Haase (L) of the Netherlands and Frederik Nielsen of Denmark in action against Raven Klaasen of South Africa and Michael Venus of New Zealand during their Men's Doubles match at the Wimbledon Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, in London, Britain, 08 July 2019. EPA-EFE/WILL OLIVER EDITORIAL USE ONLY/NO COMMERCIAL SALES Klaasen carries the country’s hopes as the only remaining South African in the tournament with the 36-year-old also in search of an elusive first Grand Slam career title.
Klaasen and Venus, the third seeded pair who were runners-up last year, have given themselves a good chance of the title as they move on to the last eight in the final week of Wimbledon.
The duo were clinical against Nielsen and Haase (seeded 16th) despite the final set going to a tiebreak.
Klaasen and Venus saw off Australians Lleyton Hewitt and Jordan Thompson and the British pair of Luke Bambridge and Johnny O’Mara in the previous two rounds.
