Wawrinka and Paire, who won two break sets in three, set a final clash with the German duo of Andre Begemann and Martin Emmrich, who disposed of Thai twins Sanchal and Sonchat Ratawatna 7-6 (3), 6-4.

The final is slated for tomorrow.

In the second semi final that lasted 95 minutes, Wawrinka, who had partnered his compatriot Roger Federer to win the Bejing Olympics gold medal, was in his elements today, partnering Paire.

Kaalsen and Monroe were equal to the task and never relented in their counter attacks throughout the game.

In fact, Wawrinka and Paire had rather an easy run in the super tie break set with a 8-4 score line.

 

Here Kaalsen took charge in his service game to claim two points on serve and went for a kill on return of serve.

When Wawrinka took to serve (9-8), his team was on third match point and he scored the winner with a superb placement.
