Doubles partners Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid will meet in an all-British men's wheelchair singles quarter-final at the French Open after both players advanced on Tuesday.
World number one and three-time champion Hewett beat the Netherlands' Tom Egberink 6-3 7-5.
Reid, a two-time runner-up at Roland Garros, won 6-1 6-1 against Dutchman Maikel Scheffers.
Fellow Briton Lucy Shuker lost 6-2 6-2 against American Dana Mathewson.
Hewett, a seven-time Grand Slam singles champion, was dominant in the opening set but found himself 5-2 down in the second after two breaks of serve by Egberink.
However, he won five games in a row to take the match and progress to the quarter-finals as he bids for a third consecutive major singles title.
His good friend Reid claimed the opening set against Scheffers in just 33 minutes before wrapping up the second in a similar fashion to reach an eighth successive quarter-final on the Paris clay.
Shuker started brightly against her doubles partner Mathewson in their first-round encounter, establishing a quick 2-0 lead before the American rattled off six games in a row to win the set.
The players traded breaks in the second but Matthewson proved the stronger of the two to set up a quarter-final against third seed Jiske Griffioen of the Netherlands.
