Germany's Thomas Gotard and Andreas Holowski have been doing very well in major pairs championships for the last few years and after three sessions of the Société Générale Open Pairs semi-final they looked certain to qualify for the final. They racked up the matchpoints, scoring 226 of a possible 232 on this deal from the second session when they blasted their way into a slam.
