Lukasz Kubot and Oliver Marach, who lead the battle at No. 5 in the year-to-date ATP Doubles Team Rankings to clinch one of four remaining doubles berths at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in November, joined fellow seeds Martin Damm and Julian Knowle as first round casualties at the Valencia Open 500, an ATP World Tour 500 tournament, on Wednesday.

Spanish duo Marcel Granollers and Tommy Robredo converted all four break point opportunities to overcome second seeds Kubot and Marach 6-7(6), 6-3, 10-5 in one hour and 41 minutes for a place in the quarter-finals against Mark Knowles and Michael Llodra, who won 82 per cent of service points and hit five aces to defeat Spanish wild cards Roberto Bautista-Agut and Javier Marti 6-3, 6-1 in just 46 minutes.

Kubot and Marach, who have captured three ATP World Tour doubles titles this year at the Grand Prix Hassan II in Casablanca, the Serbia Open 2009 at Belgrade and last week at the Bank Austria TennisTrophy in Vienna, dropped to a 40-18 match record on the season.

Guillermo Garcia-Lopez and Albert Montanes, another all-Spanish team, knocked out fourth seeds Damm and Knowle 6-3, 4-6, 13-11 in 84 minutes. The pair will next challenge Americans Eric Butorac and Rajeev Ram, who ousted Nicolas Almagro and Santiago Ventura 7-6(3), 6-2 in 69 minutes. This year, Butorac and Ram have won two ATP World Tour titles at the Aircel Chennai Open and PTT Thailand Open in Bangkok.

At the Swiss Indoors in Basel, which is also an ATP World Tour 500 tournament, Christopher Kas and Viktor Troicki beat third seeds Bruno Soares and Kevin Ullyett 7-6(4), 4-6, 10-6 in one hour and 34 minutes. Ullyett, who will retire at the end of the season, and Soares are currently No. 10 in the year-to-date ATP Doubles Team Rankings, 520 points behind No. 8-ranked Frantisek Cermak and Michal Mertinak.
