Bhupathi reaches doubles final

Indian double specialist Mahesh Bhupathi partnered Belarus Max Mirnyi to reach the final of the ATP doubles Finals tournament here on Saturday with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Polish duo Mariusz Fyrstenberg and Marcin Matkowski.

Bhupathi and Mirnyi will play Canada's Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic of Serbia in Sunday's final after the latter pairing beat American twins Bob and Mike Bryan 6-3, 3-6, 12/10 (in a super tie-break).

Bhupathi, 36, has won four men's grand slam doubles titles - though he has never won the Australian Open losing twice in the final - and mixed doubles titles, seven in total, at all the Grand Slam tournaments.
