Who'd have predicted that.

Dom Inglot continued to fly the flag for Britain at the French Open as the Londoner and Filipino partner Treat Huey reached the third round of the men's doubles.

The pair won their opening two matches a year ago and repeated the feat today with a 6-3 7-6 (7/5) victory over Uzbek Denis Istomin and his Russian partner Mikhail Elgin.

Inglot does not have the profile of Britain's other leading doubles players like Colin Fleming, Ross Hutchins, Jamie Murray and Jonny Marray but he and Huey have reached four ATP finals, winning one.

Last week they made the final in Dusseldorf and Inglot, the tennis playing stand-in for Paul Bettany in the film Wimbledon, is ranked 37th in the world.

This makes him the British doubles number three behind Marray and Fleming.
