Indian Rohan Bopanna along with his Romanian partner Florin Mergea took two hours and 34 minutes to knock out the legendary Bryan brothers. The number one seeds went down 7-5, 4-6, 6-7(9), 6-7(5).

It was a close affair in the early parts and the American brothers broke late to capture the first set 7-5.

The Indo-Romanian pair broke twice in the second set to make it all square and then went on to take the third set in a thrilling tiebreaker.

After double faulting at match points and letting the match slip into another tiebreak, the pair finally came up with goods and wrapped up the match to create a huge upset.

The pair had previously triumphed at Stuttgart and looks solid to go all the way.

The team of veterans – Leander Paes and Martina Hingis- seeded seventh demolished the unseeded duo of Artem Sitak and Anastasia Rodionova 6-2, 6-2.

Some terrific reflexes at the net by Paes and some great baseline shots by Hingis powered them through to the next round.
