Marach/Pavic Streak Hits 18 In 2018!

Duo moves to 18-0 record this season

Oliver Marach and Mate Pavic reached their fourth final of the 2018 ATP World Tour season at the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament after beating Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau 6-1, 6-3 on Saturday.

The second seeds continued their impressive unbeaten streak in 2018, which now stands at 18 matches, to beat their opponents in just 55 minutes. The duo won 82 per cent of points on serve and broke the 2015 champions on four occasions to move just one win away from a fourth title in 2018 after earlier title runs in Doha, Auckland and the Australian Open.

The Austrian-Croatian team awaits the winner of Saturday’s evening semi-final where Ivan Dodig and Rajeev Ram meet third seeds Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut.

Marach and Pavic’s last defeat came at the Rolex Shanghai Masters in October 2017 to today’s opponents Rojer and Tecau. The duo has since won 25 consecutive matches with a title run in Stockholm, two victories in Vienna (before withdrawing in the semi-finals), one win as an alternate at the Nitto ATP Finals and 18 triumphs this season.
