After his three-set singles semi-final win against Holger Rune, Maxime Cressy earned a second Saturday victory at the Open Sud de France — Montpellier to book his place in the doubles final.

The Paris-born American teamed with Frenchman Albano Olivetti to defeat Sander Arends and David Pel 6-1, 6-4, setting up a title showdown against another Dutch duo: fourth seeds Robin Haase and Matwe Middelkoop.

Cressy/Olivetti saved the only break point they faced in the semi-final contest and converted on three of their five break opportunities. Their dominant day on serve included seven aces and an 89 per cent win rate on first serve.

The American-French pair has dropped just eight games in its past two matches, beginning with a 6-1, 6-2 upset of second seeds Santiago Gonzalez and Edouard Roger-Vasselin on Thursday. The duo won a Match Tie-break in their opening match on Monday.

Haase/Middelkoop, their final opponents, secured their place in the title match on Friday with a 3-6, 6-3, 10-8 win against top-seeded Germans Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz.
