American Bryan Brothers are once more back in their usual form after Australian Open 2012 to maintain their dominance over the second Grand Slam of the year. In their quarter final match against Australian- Argentinean tandem Oliver Marach and Horacio Zeballos, they got a three set win in the clay court of Roland Garros. They registered a 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 win against their opponent and maintained their rocking performance in the Grand Slam events.
To outsmart their opponent Bob and Mike Bryan displayed their fabulous co-ordination and excellent skill. In the same ground, they won their maiden championship title in 2003 and are presently 11-9 in title rounds of Grand Slam. They ended the game in just 1 hour and 42 minutes with consecutive five opening games in their favor. After that the opponent bounced back and ended a set with 6-4. At that time, the match was lingering in a marginal space when the American twins managed to get a 3-0 lead and finally turned the game in their favor by bagging four winning games among six. Now they are to face Pakistan-Netherland duo Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi and Jean-Julien Rojer who have also made their way into the semi-final by defeating Serbian-French pair Nenad Zimonjic and Michael Llodra.
In the match between Pakistan-Netherland duo and Serbian-French pair, Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi and Jean-Julien Rojer made a 6-4, 2-1 retirement victory against their opponent. They were leading the game in 2-1 when the French partner of their opponent, Llodra suffered a severe back injury and decided to end the match. Qureshi is the first tennis star from Pakistan who is just a few steps away from two international tennis flavors- Grand Slam and Olympic. Being in the 16th position in world ranking, this Grand Slam title will pull Qureshi in top ten. He along with his partner Rojer gave a striking performance in the first game with 2-0 lead and then maintained their partnership till the end of first set in 6-4. In the second set also, they were in 2-1 but suddenly Llodra's injury compelled them to quit the game after third game and empowered their position in the semi-final.
Now their meeting with Bryan brothers will be the most exciting part of this tournament. Earlier at Mutua Madrid Open, Bryan brothers were defeated by Qureshi-Rojer pair but at Open de Nice Côte d'Azur, the result was just the opposite. So, although being in a favorable position, the Bryan brothers know that the semi-final will be a challenging match for both the side. About the Author
