It means Sunday’s showpiece will be a very British affair against Joe Salisbury and Harriet Dart.
Having dropped the first set to John Peers and Shuai Zhang, Skupski and Krawczyk squandered a host of break points in the second.
But they claimed the tie-break 7-4 to level the match and keep their hopes alive.
The crucial break finally arrived in the 12th game of the decider as Skupski and Krawczyk ran out 3-6 7-6 (4) 7-5 winners.
