Bhupathi-Paes stay on course

By Our Tennis Correspondent

CHENNAI, JAN. 6. The old magic was back. The familiar feeling was back. And, suddenly, the Gold Flake Open became the Gold Flake Open of old on Friday evening at the Nungambakkam Tennis Stadium.

An emotionally charged audience that filled a little over two- thirds of the stadium capacity was rewarded suitably as Indian tennis' perfect pair produced another winning performance in electric atmosphere.

Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes stormed into the semifinals of the tournament for the fourth time - they won the first three doubles titles here from 1997-99 - with a 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 defeat of Michal Tabara and Tomas Zib of the Czech Republic.
