Australian Heath Davidson has made a successful Roland Garros debut as he follows the Dylan Alcott path, reaching the French Open quad wheelchair doubles final.

Heath Davidson, the Australian charged with following the success of his title-laden former wheelchair tennis partner Dylan Alcott, has made a superb Roland Garros debut by reaching the quad doubles final at the French Open.

The 35-year-old is now the last Aussie representative at the Paris slam after John Peers earlier on Wednesday crashed out of the mixed doubles in the semi-finals.

Davidson, who also linked up with his fellow Victorian Alcott for Paralympic gold in 2016, has a new partner in Brazilian Ymanitu Silva following the retirement of his 23-time grand slam-winning colleague.

Davidson and Silva opened up their title bid with a 1-6 6-4 (10-8) win, edging the super breaker against the No.2 seeds, Briton Andy Lapthorne and American veteran David Wagner after an hour and a half.

Davidson, the four-time Australian Open doubles champion with Alcott, has now reached a seventh grand slam doubles final, but his first without his old partner.

On Court Suzanne Lenglen, John Peers' hopes of finally reaching a grand slam mixed doubles final were ended once again alongside Canada's Gabriela Dabrowski, as they were defeated by Japan's Ena Shibahara and Dutchman Wesley Koolhof 6-3 6-4.

World No.15 Peers had been savouring a career-best run in Paris, advancing to his first semi-final there but, just as in his mixed doubles last-four appearances in the other three slams, the 33-year-old couldn't make it to the final.
