The fifth seeded Indo-Czech pair defeated the Brazilian duo of 7-5, 7-6 (3) in a match that lasted for an hour and 45 minutes Friday.<\/p>\n

Paes-Stepanek broke Bellucci-Souza sealed the set without losing a single game on their serve.<\/p>\n

Both the teams were broken once in the second set, but then the Brazilian duo found their fancied opponents too hot to handle and eventually lost 7-3 in the tie- break.<\/p>\n

Paes-Stepanek will now take on America-Australian team of Jesse Levine and Marinko Matosevic who beat eleventh seeds Jonathan Marray and Frederik Nielsen 6-1, 7-6, 6-4.<\/p>\n
