    India's Rohan Bopanna and Pakistan's Aisam Qureshi have defeated Arnaud Clement of France and Jonathan Erlich of Israel in a tough duel to reach the semi-finals of the Farmers Classic ATP Championship in Los Angeles.

    Bopanna and Qureshi won 3-6, 7-6, 14-12 on Friday, and will now play defending champions Mike Bryan and Bob Bryan of the US in the 700,000 hardcourt event.

    Having been under pressure for most of the match, the Indo-Pak duo maintained a first-serve percent of just 57, but hit seven aces in comparison to two by their opponents, The Dawn reports.

    However, they saved four of the seven breakpoints to stay in the match.

    The Bryans on the other hand are looking to reach their 100th ATP final, and capture a 62nd doubles championship, a record for the most in the Open Era. (ANI)
