The Indian duo of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi, ranked third in the world and seeded second here, entered the semifinals of the Heinekken Open being played in Shanghai.

In the quarter final match yesterday, they defeated the S Schalken/J Van Lottum pair, 6-4, 6-3.

Top seed Australian pairing Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge also entered the semifinal, defeating M Kiel/T J Middleton 6-2, 6-1.

The fourth seed pair of Wayne Black/P Tramacchi defeated G Ivanisevic/S Hirszon 6-7(3), 6-4, 7-6(4) in a long battle.
