Leander-Lukas pair despite of seven unforced errors and five double faults managed to warp up the match within a little over an hour as they score a winning edge of 63% in their first serve.
They will now take on the winners of the other third round match between the top seeded Canadian-Serb pair of Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic and the Swiss duo Robert Lindstedt and Jarkko Niemein.
The pair’s best performance so far in the year was in Wimbledon as they reached to the Semis. However, their last three losses were to the world no.1 Canadian-Serb pair, again the likely opponent here in US Open quarterfinal clash.
