Austrians Alexander Erler and Lucas Miedler are a perfect 3-0 in ATP Tour finals, with titles in Kitzbuhel in 2021, Vienna in 2022 and Acapulco earlier this season.

After their Friday semi-final victory at the Grand Prix Hassan II, they will bid to extend their streak in the Marrakech final, reports ATP.

The third seeds defeated fifth seeds Maxime Cressy and Albano Olivetti 6-2, 7-6(1) to advance to the title match at the ATP 250, surviving 11 aces from their opponents and earning the victory without facing a break point.
