Salisbury and Skupski, who paired up at the start of the 2025 season, have won nine Grand Slam titles between them, but neither have gone beyond the quarter-finals of the men's doubles at Roland Garros.
Elsewhere, British duo Henry Patten and Olivia Nicholls were unable to contest their mixed doubles quarter-final with Italian fourth seeds Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori after Nicholls failed to recover from a hand injury.
British sixth seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool take on Briton Luke Johnson and Sander Arends of the Netherlands later on Monday.
Glasspool is also in mixed doubles action on Monday. He will face Chinese-Salvadorian second seeds Zhang Shuai and Marcelo Arevalo alongside Mexican partner Giuliana Olmos.
