Lee and Lukas scored very comfortable win in 58 mins to moved into French open semi-finals ... In this match they broke opponent's serve 3 times in the first set and once in second set ... They faced 2 break points but saved both ... Today Lee was as usual magical on the net.

But 2nd seed Lee and Cara lost in mixed doubles quarter-final in super tie-break ... After losing first set they fought back winning second set in tie-break but Knowle and Shvedova were strong in super tie-break.
