Britain's Neal Skupski and partner Wesley Koolhof's bid for a first Grand Slam men's doubles title ended with a French Open quarter-final defeat.

Skupski and Dutchman Koolhof, the top seeds, were beaten 6-3 7-6 (7-4) by Spain's Marcel Granollers and Argentine Horacio Zeballos, the 10th seeds.

Skupski had been the last remaining Briton in the doubles at Roland Garros.

He and Koolhof had been a mini break up in the second-set tie-break before letting the advantage slip away.

They were knocked out when Koolholf went just long with a backhand on the first match point.
