The Indo-Croatian pairing will now face Pablo Andujar and Pedro Martinez in the quarterfinals on Monday.
Bopanna and Skugor had prevailed 6-4, 7-5 over Frances Tiafo and Nicholas Monroe in the second round match on Thursday.
The 41-year-old is not defending any points this year at the Roland Garros, but requires points since this is his last chance to improve his ranking. The rankings, as of June 10, will be considered for entry into the Tokyo Olympics
