Rafael Nadal and Casper Ruud won a dramatic doubles match at the Swedish Open to reach the semi-finals in Bastad.
Nadal and Ruud beat the French pairing of Theo Arribage and Roman Safiullin 6-4 3-6 12-10, saving a match point in the match tie-break.
On Thursday, Nadal will be in second round singles action against Britain's Cameron Norrie - live on Sky Sports Tennis at approximately 1.30pm
"I think we had some fun," Nadal said. "It has been an emotional match at the end, a good level of tennis against two good players.
"We enjoy it and the crowd was amazing, a full crowd in a doubles match, that's fantastic. Just enjoying every single day here."
Nadal and Ruud broke early in the first set and held serve to win the opening set, which the crowd loved.
However, Arribage and Safiullin raced into a 3-0 lead at the start of the second, only to be pegged back to 3-3. The French duo broke in the eighth game though and sent the match to a deciding tie-break.
Nadal and Ruud saved a match point at 9-10 down, before winning the next two points to get over the line.
"When you cannot win singles you have to try to win doubles," joked Ruud, who lost his opening singles match to Thiago Monteiro earlier on Wednesday.
""It was not the best beginning of the day but a very nice way to finish the day for me. Winning alongside Rafa was a special doubles today. We saved a match point so a bit lucky, and we look forward to the next match."
Britain's Harris loses in Newport
Elsewhere on Wednesday, Britain's Billy Harris lost 6-3 6-4 to USA's Mackenzie McDonald in the last 16 at the Hall of Fame Championships in Newport.
Harris, who reached the quarter-finals on grass at both Queen's and Eastbourne, had come through qualifying and then beat Canada's Gabriel Diallo in the first round in Newport, Rhode Island.
But the British No 4 found the going tough against McDonald, who is ranked just inside the top 100.
McDonald broke Harris twice to take the opening set in 34 minutes. Although Harris managed to save two match points against his serve, the American eventually closed out a straight-sets victory to reach the quarter-finals.
