Prakash Amritraj and Harsh Mankad are one step away from winning ATP challenger Tour's doubles titles, having reached the final of different events along with their respective partners.
Prakash and his American partner Rajeev Ram overcame a second-set lapse to knock down third seeded Russians Michall Elgin and Alexandra Kudryavtsev 7-6 (8), 1-6, 10-5 in the semifinals to make the summit clash of the euro 64,000 Izmir Cup in Turkey.
They will now fight it out with top seed Israelis Jonathan Erlich and Harel Levy.
At the USD 50,000 Sarasota Open in Longboat Key, United States, Harsh Mankad and his partner Kaes Van't Hof came from behind to script the ouster of the top seeded pair of Ball Carsten and Travis Retternmaier 2-6, 6-3, 10-5 in their semifinal encounter.
The third seeded Indo-American pair will take on second seeds Victor Estrella of Dominican Republic and Santiago Gonzalez of Mexico.
