Leander Paes entered the mixed doubles quarterfinals while Rohan Bopanna was through to the men's doubles third round on a reasonably good day for the Indians in the US Open at New York. Seventh seeded Paes and his Russian partner Elena Vesnina defeated the Taipei-Polish pair of Yung-Jan Chan and Mariusz Fyrstenberg 6-2, 6-7, 1-0. They will now take on the winner of the match between the Belarussian-Polish combine of Olga Govortsova and Marcin Matkowski and Natalie Grandin and Jean-Julien Rojer. In men's doubles, Bopanna and his Pakistani partner Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi got the better of the American-German team of James Cerretani and Philipp Marx 7-6, 7-6. The fifth-seeded Indo-Pakistani pair will now lock horns with the winner of the match between Columbians Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah and the Australian-Belarussian combination of Paul Hanley and Dick Norman. However, Bopanna and his American partner Vania King lost 6-7, 6-4, 0-1 to the Czech-German pair of Barbora Zahlavova Strycova and Philipp Petzschner in mixed doubles.
