Britain won their victory over Matthew Ebden and John Peers in the French Open men’s doubles semifinals.
The eighth seed battle defeated the Australian pair 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 6-4.
This is the first time that Skupski or Salisbury, paired early this season, surpassed the Parisian man’s quarter-finals.
They bid for the first Grand Slam title and reached the final this year in clay in Qatar and Barcelona.
Meanwhile, Henry Patten and Finn Harri Heliovaara of England missed their last four meetings with Skupski and Salisbury.
Second seeds Patten and Heliovaara were Wimbledon and Australian Open champions, losing 6-3 6-4 to the ninth seeds Christian Harrison and Evan King.
Skupski will compete in the mixed doubles quarterfinals late Tuesday when he and U.S. partner Desirae Krawczyk face Ukraine’s Lyudmyla Kichenok and Croatian partner Pavic.
