US Open: Paes & Dlouhy win to move into men's doubles final

Indian tennis ace Leander Paes kept himself in line of two Grand Slam titles after entering the final of the men's doubles event of the US Open following an upset win over top seeds and local favourites Mike and Bob Bryan on Wednesday.

Paes and his Czech partner Lukas Dlouhy, seeded fourth, overwhelmed the Bryan brothers 6-4 3-6 7-6 (8-6) in one hour and 51 minutes in the semifinal at the Flushing Meadows in New York on Wednesday.

Paes and his partner Cara Black have already reached the final of the mixed doubles event.

The match had a sensational climax as Paes and Dlouhy had plenty of match points in the tie-breaker of the third and final set but Bryan brothers made a spirited comeback and saved five match points.

However, Paes and Dlouhy held their nerves and finally converted their sixth match point to clinch the issue.
