Canada's Leylah Fernandez and American playing partner Taylor Townsend advanced to the women's doubles finals at the French Open on Friday.

Fernandez and Townsend, seeded 10th at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament, defeated the second-seeded American duo of Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff 6-0, 6-4 at Roland Garros.

Fernandez, of Laval, Que., has struggled in singles competition this year. She fell to 14-13 on the season after dropping her second-round match to Clara Tauson in the singles draw in Paris.

However, she and Townsend have found success as a doubles team since joining forces in March, advancing to the final of the Miami Open, where they lost to Pegula and Gauff in straight sets, and the semifinals of the Madrid Open.
