New Delhi: India's Leander Paes and Czech Republican partner David Rikl defeated American duo Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan 3-6, 7-6 (7/2), 6-4 to enter the final of the Nasdaq-100 Open ATP Tennis Masters Series in Miami, Florida, on Friday.

The Indo-Czech pair conceded the first set after failing to convert two break points but rallied brilliantly staving of three break points in the final set against the Americans, according to information reaching here on Saturday.

The tie was rescheduled after persistent rain rendered the match a non-starter on Thursday.

Paes and Rikl will play Belarussian Max Mirnyi, who won last year's US Open doubles crown with Mahesh Bhupathi, and Swiss star Roger Federer in the final later on Saturday.

Federer and Mirnyi defeated Fernando Gonzales of Chile and Spaniard Tommy Robredo 6- 3, 6-4 in the other semi-final.
