Stepanek committed a double fault to lose his service game but closed out set 15 to with a wonderful backhand volley that angled away from Bob.<\/p>\n<p>There were no service breaks in the second set, although the American twins came through sudden death deuces at 1-1 and 2-2. The Bryans took a 4-2 lead in the tie-break, but were powerless as Paes and Stepanek won three of the next four points. At 5-5, Paes hit a high volley winner for set point opportunity, but Bob Bryan saved it with a smash winner. A clever low return by Mike Bryan at 7-6, enabled Bob Bryan to cross and volley into space to end the 53-minute set.<\/p>\n<p>In a 16-minute Match tie-break, Paes and Stepanek took a 6-4 lead and maintained the two-point cushion. <\/p>\n<p>Now chances of Bryan Brothers qualifying for the next stage depend upon the outcome of result between the match of Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi and Jean-Julien Rojer and Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez. If Aisam and Jean beat Roger-Marcel pair, the Bryans will move into the next stage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports NEws Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-3236\" style=\"margin-right: 6px; margin-left: 6px; float: left;\" alt=\"paes-stepanek iw\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/paes-stepanek_iw.jpg\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/paes-stepanek_iw.jpg 200w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/paes-stepanek_iw-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>London:<\/strong> Third seeds Leander Paes and Radek Stepanek got the better of top seeds Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan in their last Group A match to go into semi-finals of ATP World Tour Finale unbeaten here on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Paes and Stepanek had to sweat it hard to get past the three-time champions but held their nerves to beat the brothers&nbsp; 6-4 6-7(6) 10-7 in one hour and 45 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3236,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[7256,5706,6293,376,5662,377],"class_list":["post-11538","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-latest","tag-atp-world-tour-finale","tag-bob-bryan","tag-indian-sports-news-network","tag-leander-paes","tag-mike-bryan","tag-radek-stepanek"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tour Finals: Paes-Stapanek beat Bryan Brothers - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/?p=11538\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tour Finals: Paes-Stapanek beat Bryan Brothers - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"London: Third seeds Leander Paes and Radek Stepanek got the better of top seeds Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan in their last Group A match to go into semi-finals of ATP World Tour Finale unbeaten here on Saturday.
