It's Paes vs Bhupati in ATP Rogers Masters quarterfinal
By: PTI

Toronto: 

Leander Paes and Lukas Dlouhy set up a quarterfinal clash with Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles after a straight-set win over Roger Federer and Stainslas Wawrinka in the second round of the ATP Rogers Masters.


The seventh seeded Indo-Czech pair beat unseeded Swiss rivals 6-4 6-4 in a contest lasting less than an hour.


Paes and Dlouhy held serve throughout the match and did not face a breakpoint in the opening set.


The Indo-Czech pair converted the only breakpoint that came their way in the opener and won 91 per cent of their service points, to go one up.


The second set followed a similar script and the seventh seeds broke Federer and Wawrinka once, before sealing the issue in their favour.


Fourth seeds Bhupathi and Knowles had an easier passage to the quarterfinal as they were handed a second-round walkover by Americans Andy Roddick and Mardy Fish.
