In the semifinals of the euro 694,250 grass court event, the duo defeated Max Mirnyi of Belarus and Canadian Daniel Nestor 6-7, 7-6, 10-8. In the summit clash, the 'Indian Express' pair will face top-seeded Bryan brothers of the United States. In their semi-final, Mike and Bob Bryan overpowered Oliver Marach of Austria and Marcin Matkowski of Poland in straight sets 6-2 6-1.
