Spanish icons Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal are unsurprisingly causing a storm at the Paris Olympics.
The duo are now into the quarter-finals of the competition, having battled through two rounds in the French capital.
A first round victory over Argentine pair Andres Molteni and Maximo Gonzalez was secured on the clay, with the Spaniards winning 7-6(7-4), 6-4.
A more difficult test then arrived in round two, but Alcaraz and Nadal emerged victorious 6-4, 6-7(2-7), 10-2 against Dutchmen Tallon Griekspoor and Wesley Koolhof.
Dressed in their Spanish red shirts, accompanied by white shorts, the crowd favourites were roared into the last eight by those watching on.
