Paes-Dlouhy in Rotterdam semifinals


New Delhi (PTI): Tennis ace Leander Paes and his Czech partner Lukas Dlouhy whipped Russian-Polish pair of Igor Andreev and Marcin Matkowski in straight sets to storm into doubles semifinals of the World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam, the Netherlands on Thursday.
The second seeded Indo-Czech pair hardly broke a sweat as they won their quarterfinal match 6-2, 6-1 in the euro 1445,000 hard court event.
Paes and Dlouhy next play the winner of the last eight match between French duo of Arnaud Clement and Michael Llodra and the Austrian-Israeli pair of Julian Knowle and Andy Ram.
For Paes, it would be his third semifinal of the year and second with Dlouhy.
