Romain Arneodo and Sam Weissborn continued their dream run at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters Saturday when they clawed past Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz 7-6(7), 4-6, 10-7 to reach their maiden ATP Masters 1000 final as a team.

In a tight clash, the Monegasque-Austrian wild cards saved four set points en route to winning the first set and then raised their level in the Match Tie-break to triumph after two hours and 10 minutes against the German pair.

Prince Albert II enjoys Romain Arneodo’s win on Saturday in Monte-Carlo.
Monegasque Arneodo and Austrian Weissborn have earned standout results in the Principality, upsetting seeds Rajeev Ram/Joe Salisbury and Lloyd Glasspool/Harri Heliovaara earlier this week. Home favourite Arneodo and Austrian Weissborn will face Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek in Sunday’s title match.

Earlier this season, Arneodo and Weissborn clinched an ATP Challenger Tour title before they reached the semi-finals at a tour-level event in Marseille.

Dodig and Krajicek overcame Fabrice Martin and Andreas Mies 7-6(1), 6-4 to reach their third tour-level final of the season.

The fifth seeds, who triumphed in Rotterdam in February, did not face a break point to advance. The Croatian-American team are chasing their fifth tour-level title together and second on clay, after triumphing in Lyon last year.
