India’s Rohan Bopanna and Polish partner Marcin Matkowski entered the men’s doubles finals of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships after beating Leander Paes and Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in three sets on Friday, PTI reported.
The unseeded Indo-Polish pair won 6-3, 3-6, 10-6 in the semi-finals of the USD 2,617,160 hard court tournament.
This is the second best performance of the season for Bopanna, who is playing with his fourth partner of the season. He had won the season-opening Chennai Open with compatriot Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan.
In the final, Bopanna and Matkowski will face the winner of the second semi-final between top seeded duo of Henri Kontinen and John Peers, and fourth seeds Rojer Jean-Julien and Tecau Horia.
